Above Average Skill AAA performance with meaningful runway, but the overall shape reads more like a possible AAAA hold than a clean MLB push. The calibration layer supports using stronger upside language than a neutral read would.

Fan-facing translation of the archived read.

Archive Outlook

The current lane reads like a solid big-league starter more than a pure depth arm.

Missing-bat test

The profile still needs a firmer bat-missing foundation to move into a stronger rotation lane.

Role clarity

A cleaner starter-versus-reliever shape would make the projection much more stable.

Translation risk

The current line still has to prove it translates to an MLB role instead of just surviving the minors.

Summary

The calibration layer supports a stronger version of the positive read here. Above Average Skill, blocked path, and balanced org still support a normal prospect-style read. The current median path looks like `Depth Arm`, with `Moderate Ceiling` upside if the development path keeps moving, and the calibration layer supports stronger upside language than usual.
