Scouting Report

Assets
  • Shocks hitters with a change-up that cuts 20 m.p.h. off his mid-90's fastball, which can lead to numerous strikeouts. Works hard at improving his craft.
Flaws
  • His curveball needs a lot of work and he must refine his command in order to maximize his potential as a Major League starting pitcher.
Career Potential
  • No.1 or 2 starter.
