Scouting Report: Large is a groundball pitcher with average control.  He utilizes a very good cutter that sits between 85-89 mph with great action - it's a pitch that could bring him some success in the majors.  Uses the cutter about 80% of the time.  Also makes use of a low-90s two-seamer, a 74-78 mph curve, and a low-80s changeup.   Forces a lot of weak contact.
