Scouting Report

Assets
  • Keeps hitters off balance with a smooth but explosive delivery and natural movement. Is confident in throwing his change-up.
Flaws
  • Pays little attention to base-runners, who take liberties with him on the base paths. He has some command problems against left-handed hitters.
Career Potential
  • A decent mid-rotation starter, when healthy.
