Scouting Report by Stats Inc.

Pitching

Everybody agrees that Myers has great stuff, and one scout compares his potential to Josh Beckett of the Marlins. Myers' fastball is above average, and he has a swing-and-miss curve that ranks among the best in baseball. He also has a splitter and a slider, and once he begins to throw his changeup effectively and with confidence, he could be a top-of-the-rotation starter. Even without the changeup, Myers can be dominant when he has command of his fastball and curve. He still has a tendency to simply try to throw harder with runners on base.

Defense & Hitting

Myers is an extremely athletic pitcher who is quick off the mound to field bunts or cover first. For a righthander, he has an excellent move to first. He has improved as a hitter, batting .196 last year while tying for the team lead with eight sacrifice bunts.
