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 pushes this toward a higher-risk interpretation.

Back-End Starter

Fan-facing translation of the archived read.

Archive Outlook

Right now the profile fits more as a back-end starter unless the quality jumps another notch.

Missing-bat test

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

Command pressure

Command has to tighten for the current starter-level projection to stick.

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 pushes this read into a much more risk-aware frame. This looks more like a roster-utility or current-depth case than a standard prospect projection. Average Skill and standard runway still matter descriptively, but the system should talk about present status and narrow utility rather than upside-oriented future outcomes.
