Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has three good pitches (fastball, slider, change-up) and he keeps the ball down, which often prevents hitters from lofting the ball.
Flaws
  • His biggest flaw is definitely his hot head, which can severely affect his command and rattle his overall effectiveness.
Career Potential
  • A prototypical swingman.
