Mason Pelio Boston College RHP
Ht: 6-3 | Wt: 230 | B-T: R-R
Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted
Age At Draft: 21.0
Pelio was a projection arm out of high school—ranking No. 374 on the BA 500 in 2018—who scouts liked but didn’t quite see the sort of impact stuff it would take to sign him out of a strong Boston College commitment. Two years later, Pelio has increased his stock significantly, with improved fastball velocity and by honing a changeup that showed promise back in his Rancho Bernardo (Calif.) High days. Now Pelio is a sturdy, 6-foot-3, 230-pound righthander who sits in the 90-94 mph range and has touched a few ticks higher at his best. His changeup is an above-average pitch and his most consistent secondary, while his breaking ball remains fringy. Pelio had a strong freshman campaign in 2019, posting a 3.63 ERA over 13 starts and 72 innings, with 62 strikeouts (7.8 per nine) and 37 walks (4.6 per nine). Pelio throws with an easy operation and has a starter look, though how much he’s able to improve his breaking ball and miss bats more frequently will determine how much upside he has.

San Diego Padres
The Padres finally broke through in 2020 thanks to a strong core and an aggressive approach during the season. Unlike their go-for-broke approach in 2015, this iteration of the Padres seems to be designed with sustainability in mind. With a strong farm system they can do whatever they like, and they are in a prime spot to grab a tremendous young local talent in Mason Pelio. Part of an impressive recruiting class, Pelio showed he meant business the minute he stepped foot on campus. Pelio’s fastball operates in the mid to high 90’s with potential to get faster with more growth. He complements that with a changeup that is above average. Pelio has a good feel for his pitches but he definitely needs work on commanding them. He needs to develop his slider/curve and have another strong spring if he wants to get in the first round.

30. Cincinnati Reds (Compensation for Trevor Bauer): Mason Pelio, RHP, Boston College
Bauer hasn’t signed anywhere yet, but the Reds will receive this selection once he does so. Pelio is a 6-foot-4, 215-pound righty and he’s big, strong and durable. His fastball hits 97 mph consistently and there’s potential for a plus changeup in there as well. There’s lots of reliever risk here, but he’s a solid fit in Cincinnati’s Spin City pitching infrastructure.
Mack's take -
Pelio is the perfect example why some high schoolers should go to college out of high school.
He went in throwing in the high 80s and he's now sitting in the 95" range. This is money in the bank.
Will be gone in the first five rounds.
