Scouting Report

Assets
  • Is a late-bloomer with excellent control and the ability to either start or relieve. Pitches to contact and keeps his defense on their toes.
Flaws
  • Doesn't have good enough stuff to blow Major League hitters away, so his control needs to be pinpoint every time he takes to the hill.
Career Potential
  • A back-of-the-rotation starter or middle reliever.
