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.

Summary

This still reads like a real prospect translation case, but more as a delayed-path outcome than a clean early-breakout story. The most believable path is `Useful Reliever`, while `Moderate Ceiling` remains possible if the slower timeline still converts.
