SCOUTING REPORT: Manoah is enormous. He's built like Aaron Harang, and will have to keep his conditioning in check. He uses that massive frame to produce a huge fastball. It's a lively, running pitch that sits around 93-96 mph and touches 98 mph. When Manoah needs a putaway pitch, he goes to his slider, which flashes plus and gets him swings and misses. Manoah was primarily a two-pitch guy in college, though his changeup has shown average potential. Manoah is more athletic than he looks, with a repertoire and delivery that should allow him to remain a starter. He has improved his strike-throwing over the past year and didn't walk many hitters in college or pro ball in 2019, though he needs to sharpen his fastball command.
THE FUTURE: Manoah is trending in the right direction, with the ability to develop into a No. 2 or 3 starter. He should open 2020 at a Class A affiliate with a chance to reach Toronto by 2021.
