Top Rankings

Organization Prospect Rankings

BA Grade/Risk: 45/Extreme

Track Record: Pacheco signed for $400,000 during the 2018-19 international free agency period for $400,000. He made his professional debut in the Dominican Summer League over the summer of 2021, making 11 starts and pitching to a 4-1, 2.93 mar with 51 strikeouts to nine walks. He appeared in 11 Arizona Complex League games and struck out 57 batters over 46 innings.

Scouting Report: A deceptive lefthander with a low slot and funky low-effort mechanics, Pacheco has a long arm stroke that swings behind his back as he begins his motion. His low, near-sidearm slot makes it incredibly difficult for lefthanded hitters to pick up the ball out of his hand and helps the shape on all of his pitches. He mixes a fastball, slider and changeup. He'll show two fastball shapes but is likely to lean into a sinker as he progresses. His slider sits in the low-to-mid-80s with a cutter-hybrid shape driving grounders at a high rate. His changeup is a mid-80s pitch with Bugs Bunny shape that plays off of his fastball. He commands his entire arsenal at an average level and gets grounders against all of his pitches at a high rate.

The Future: A reliever long term, Pacheco shows feel for a trio of pitches with the ability to generate grounders.

Scouting Grades: Fastball: 45. Slider: 50. Changeup: 50. Control: 50.
