Jimmy Endersby

Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked Houston Astros #23 prospect in 2022
  Track Record: Endersby threw just 45.1 collegiate innings in a circuitous career. He came to Cal State Fullerton as an infielder and made occasional relief appearances, but transitioned to a full-time pitcher once he transferred to Division II Concordia-Irvine (Calif.) in 2020. Endersby made just five starts there before the pandemic shutdown, but the Astros still signed him as an undrafted free agent for $20,000 following the five-round draft. Endersby reached Double-A Corpus Christi with a 3.90 ERA and struck out 10.2 batters per nine innings in his first professional season.
  
  Scouting Report: Endersby has an excellent arsenal for someone with so little in-game pitching experience. He throws a 92-95 mph four-seam fastball that reaches as high as 2,600 rpms with the elevation and ride Houston desires. He throws a big breaking curveball and slider he’s still developing to go along with a below-average changeup. Endersby’s command and control suffer at times from a lack of experience, but the Astros are helping him adjust quickly.
  
  The Future: Endersby should start 2022 back in Double-A. As he gains more innings and experience, he could cement himself as valuable rotation depth.

• July, 2021 Scouting Report
  Endersby has the kind of backspinning, up-in-the-zone fastball carry that the Astros love, and his repertoire is even more enticing now that he's added a usable slider.
