Scouting Report

Assets
  • His fastball is good, reaching the low-90's, but it's his nasty change-up that really baffles hitters. Also adds a nice curveball. Can pitch out of jams.
Flaws
  • If he wants to start, he has to improve his endurance. He's not great at holding runners on and left-handed hitters have an easier time against him.
Career Potential
  • Can start but is best suited to middle relief.
