Scouting Report

Assets
  • Working primarily with a low-90's fastball and change-up, he's really tough on left-handed hitters. His quirky motion gets right-handed bats out, too.
Flaws
  • His curveball too often falls flat. Needs to regain full health and start lasting beyond the sixth inning a little more often to maximize potential.
Career Potential
  • A solid mid-rotation southpaw when healthy.
