Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has nasty, mid-90s sinking heat, plus a good slider and change-up, all thrown with good command. Good groundball pitcher.
Flaws
  • He can be so fine with his command that sometimes he finds too much of the zone and gets hit a lot. Tends to get hit hardest early in his starts.
Career Potential
  • Can be a solid mid-rotation righty.
