Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has three main pitches that he throws quite effectively: A mid-90s fastball, change-up and a dizzying curve that is his main strikeout pitch. Can dominate a lineup when on his game.
Flaws
  • Bases on balls are his biggest issue. He also has a tendency to lose his focus and concentration. Can also be somewhat injury-riddled, which hinders his value slightly.
Career Potential
  • Inconsistent starter with very good stuff.
  • Awards
