Scouting Report

Assets
  • Possesses great stuff and the ability to rack up strikeouts. When he's on his game, left-handed bats have trouble hitting against him.
Flaws
  • Has a history of wildness that has hurt his ability to become an important late-inning reliever. Needs to improve his poise.
Career Potential
  • A solid situational lefty.
