Scouting Report: Jacob Pearson
Colorado Rockies | LF
Overall
Summary
Nate Pearson, right-handed pitcher signed to a one-year free agent deal with the Houston Astros, began the 2026 season on the injured list due to elbow soreness from offseason surgery. After a month-long absence and minor league rehab assignment, Pearson was close to activation in mid-May as a relief option. He has struggled with command issues early in his career (5.17 career ERA) and the Astros pivoted from using him as a starter to a reliever role. Pearson showed positive velocity (101.3 mph fastball) during rehab but faces uncertainty regarding his role and effectiveness.
Strengths
- High velocity fastball (101.3 mph recorded)
- Completed minor league rehab assignment successfully
