Scouting Report

Assets
  • He's got magnificent command of the strike zone and manages to fool hitters despite a fastball that doesn't get much above 90 mph.
Flaws
  • He tends to give up more than his share of hits, but he's thrifty with the bases on balls so it doesn't hurt him too much. He also tends to get too fine with his control and that's when hitters catch up to him.
Career Potential
  • A decent back-end starter.
