Scouting Report

Assets
  • When on top of his game, he has good command of the strike zone and can rack up punch-outs. Keeps the ball out down with a very good sinker.
Flaws
  • Has become way too hittable over the course of his big-league career. A slow delivery to home plate allows base stealers to get good jumps.
Career Potential
  • A back-of-the-rotation veteran starter.
