Reliever-path profile with some real indicators, but the current bullpen read is still more provisional than the hitter or starter sides.

Archive Projection

Low-Leverage / Depth Arm

Fan-facing translation of the archived read.

Archive Outlook

The current bullpen/rotation path looks more depth-oriented than impact-oriented right now.

Bat-missing quality

The bullpen lane needs more than role usage. The stuff still has to miss bats consistently.

Command pressure

Too many free passes would cap this at low-leverage depth.

Older AAA bar

Being older for the level raises the bar. This has to look like real big-league quality, not just a good upper-minors line.

Summary

This still reads like a real prospect-style relief case, but the reliever path should be treated more cautiously than a hitter or starter baseline. The current read leans toward `Useful Reliever`, with `Moderate Ceiling` better treated as a research-stage upper outcome than a firm forecast.
