Track Record: Serwinowski was viewed as a projectable lefty coming out of high school, but that’s a profile that doesn’t get drafted as often in a minor league system without short-season leagues. The Reds were willing to take that risk, and it began to pay off when his velocity jumped and transformed him into a very promising power-armed lefty.
Scouting Report: The Reds have focused on filling the minors with pitchers who make hitters sweat. Sometimes the sweat comes from 97-plus mph at the top of the zone. Sometimes it’s because some of these fireballers don’t always know where those pitches are going. Serwinowski fits that mold perfectly. He has plus stuff, including a 94-97 mph fastball that’s hard to pick up thanks to his funky delivery and the angle he creates more than the movement of the pitch. He has a sweepy breaking ball that has plus potential. He has toyed with a changeup, but it’s far from where it needs to be. His control is currently well below-average, but that should improve as he gets stronger and gains experience.
The Future: Serwinowski is both exceptionally promising and extremely unpolished. He fits the Reds’ love of raw pitchers with nasty stuff and lots of polish remaining. He will get a taste of the automated ball-strike system in Low-A Daytona in 2023.
