Top Rankings

Organization Prospect Rankings

TRACK RECORD: Patterson took a line drive to the head in college that caused severe concussion symptoms for nearly two years, but he recovered to win Northeast Conference pitcher of the year as a senior in 2018. The Cubs drafted him in the 32nd round. Patterson posted a 1.69 ERA as he jumped three levels to Double-A in his first full season, and the Cubs brought him to their alternate training site in 2020.

SCOUTING REPORT: Patterson's fastball previously sat 88-91 mph but rose to 91-94 mph after the Cubs made an adjustment to his lower half. That velocity bump has helped him be more aggressive, and he still has advanced pitchability from when he threw softer. Patterson complements his fastball with a downer, low-80s curveball that helps him generate ground balls. He is capable of missing bats, but he primarily induces weak contact on the ground. His changeup is developing but flashes average. Patterson struggled with walks in college, but he's shown an easy, efficient delivery and improved strike-throwing in pro ball.

THE FUTURE: Patterson fits in the Cubs' plans as a future swingman or lefthanded reliever. He has a chance to make his major league debut in 2021.
