Scouting Report

Assets
  • Throws a very good curveball, and most of his pitches have movement. Can both start and relieve, and is resilient enough to be used early and often.
Flaws
  • Gives up too many hits and too many homers. Sometimes relies too much on his curve, which can compound control issues.
Career Potential
  • Back-of-the-rotation starter or reliever.
  • Awards
