Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has a fastball with great movement and velocity, a hard slider and an improved change-up and curveball. Challenges hitters and is very business-like.
Flaws
  • Can occasionally lose his focus, especially with runners on base. Left-handed hitters continue to give him a hard time and runners take liberties with him.
Career Potential
  • An effective No. 2 or 3 starter.
