Stephen Curry as a baseball player: scouting report

Stephen Curry changed basketball by making the hardest shot look routine, and the same precision makes him a starting pitcher. He is the NBA's all time leader in made three pointers, and the hand and eye control behind that record translates straight to the mound: hit the outside corner, then the inside corner, then the same spot again when it counts. Pitching is one of the two best marks on his card, and his eye is the top one.

He was lightly recruited out of high school and went to Davidson, where he carried a small school on a deep run in the 2008 NCAA Tournament. That is a pitcher who knows how to win without overpowering anyone. His arm is strong as well, so there is more on his fastball than hitters expect, and his fielding is good enough to pounce on bunts and cover first. He also owns two MVP awards, the second of them unanimous, and four championships with the Golden State Warriors, which tells you how he would handle a pennant race.

Power is the soft spot, which only matters if he ever has to swing the bat himself. His contact and speed are good enough to play second base or shortstop, his two next best spots, and his love of golf says plenty about how he handles the quiet pressure of a full count. Take him early as a front line starter, pair him with a catcher who frames the edges well and expect a lot of hitters walking back to the dugout after strike three looking.
