Scouting Report

Assets
  • Can be absolutely dominant against lefty bats. He's an uncomfortable pitcher to face, no matter the outcome. Combines a great fastball with a devastating slider, which is his out-pitch.
Flaws
  • Injuries have been a problem and somewhat curtailed some of his high upside as a starting pitcher. Needs to harness his pitches better, which also come with 100 per-cent health.
Career Potential
  • Talented lefty with consistency issues, when healthy.
  • AwardsAL - Comeback player of the yearNamed to the All-Star GameInternational League (AAA) - Rookie of the YearTriple-A - Player of the Year (Baseball America)Triple-A - All-Star Team (Baseball America)
