Scouting Report: RJ Petit
Colorado Rockies | RP
Overall
Summary
Chase Petty, Cincinnati Reds prospect pitcher, exited his start early on Sunday for Louisville Bats in the 4th inning due to a hand/finger issue. This marks a recurrence of a fingernail problem that sidelined him three weeks prior. Petty had recently been called up to the Reds after returning from the minor league IL and posting a strong start (6 shutout innings). He was the leading candidate to fill Rhett Lowder's rotation spot, but this injury creates uncertainty about his availability. The exact nature of the current issue remains unclear—could be fingernail-related, blister, or something else entirely.
Strengths
- Strong performance in first MLB start (6 shutout innings)
- Successfully returned from previous fingernail injury
