Scouting Report

Assets
  • He's added a change-up to compliment his heat, which he can crank up to over 95 mph, and adds a cut-fastball as well.
Flaws
  • He has a curveball but hasn't been able to get a good handle on it. Power hitters get around way too easily on his high heat. His command suffers when he's distracted by base runners.
Career Potential
  • He has the stuff to eventually be a good mid-rotation starter, but time's running out.
