Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has great size, athleticism and intimidation on the mound. His best pitch is a hot 95-m.p.h. fastball, and he adds a solid curveball and a decent change-up.
Flaws
  • His command of his curve and change-up isn't always. Could also stand to gain more stamina in order to pitch deeper into games. Can't control base-runners.
Career Potential
  • A quality No. 2 or 3 starter.
