Scouting Report
Carson Messina was a highly anticipated high school signing out of Summerville High School and pitched just two innings in 2025 before getting put on the injured list. His return to the mound in 2026 was domination, as he ranked near the top of many pitching leaderboards, before earning a promotion to Dunedin in June.
He frequently touched the upper 90s in the Florida Complex League, but in his couple of starts in Low-A Dunedin his velocity was only sitting 93-94 mph, but he has shown the capability of reaching back for more topping out at 96 mph. The results haven’t been the prettiest with a 6.35 ERA in a tiny sample, but his stuff looked great despite the diminished velocity. His fastball showed plus ride with a -4.5 vertical approach angle which makes it harder for hitters to square up and he has an 80 mph curveball with a more than 34 inch vertical separation from his fastball that has generated a lot of whiffs. He does have a cut slider as well in the mid 80s. With the positive shape and movement of his pitches, Messina has carried a 32.2% K rate so far this season, but he also has struggled with his command, as more advanced Low-A hitters are less susceptible to swinging at his pitches out of the zone. The 6ft 3 righty has mid-rotation upside if he can continue his velocity uptick and improve his command.
