Scouting Report

Assets
  • His change-up is great and his curve isn't far behind, both complimenting his low-90s fastball. Has a good mind for the game.
Flaws
  • Tends to leave his fastball up a little too often, leading to home runs. Command has been an issue. Gives up too many hits.
Career Potential
  • Can be a strong No. 2 or 3 starter.
