Scouting Report

Assets
  • Uses what he has (a 90-m.p.h. sinking fastball, slider and change) to its maximum potential due to exceptional pitching savvy.
Flaws
  • Needs to get ahead in the count more often, and he gets shaken with runners on base. Isn't as effective late into his starts.
Career Potential
  • A consistent mid-rotation starter.
