Scouting Report

Assets
  • Mixes a two-seamer and four-seamer in the low-90s with a strong curveball. Can induce a lot of groundball outs. Boasts terrific command when on top of his game.
Flaws
  • His sinking action doesn't always sink, which leaves him susceptible to the long ball too frequently. Needs to improve his change-up. Could stand to improve his strikeout/walk ratio.
Career Potential
  • Solid starter, when healthy.
  • Awards
