Scouting Report: Large is a groundball pitcher with average control. He utilizes a very good cutter that sits between 85-89 mph with great action - it's a pitch that could bring him some success in the majors. Uses the cutter about 80% of the time. Also makes use of a low-90s two-seamer, a 74-78 mph curve, and a low-80s changeup. Forces a lot of weak contact.
