Scouting Report

Assets
  • Keeps hitters off-balance with disorienting movement on his low-90's fastball and effective change, but it's his swooping curve that is his bread and butter.
Flaws
  • Spends a little too much time concentrating on base runners and ends up getting beaten by the hitter. Needs to improve his endurance as a starter.
Career Potential
  • A decent option at the back of a rotation.
