Scouting Report

Assets
  • Is highly intelligent, both on and off the field, and uses those smarts to pitch around hitters. His cut fastball can shut down the opposition.
Flaws
  • Has a tendency to outsmart himself at times when his pitches. At his worst, he leaves the ball up in the strike zone and gets tattooed.
Career Potential
  • A solid mid-rotation starter and good teammate.
