Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has a nasty strikeout repertoire including mid-90's heat, a knee-buckling curve and good change-up. A competitor on the mound, he doesn't give up many walks.
Flaws
  • Hasn't shown he can be a huge innings-eater--mostly due to injuries. Can sometimes lose his cool on the mound. Will give up his share of dingers.
Career Potential
  • A staff ace and perennial Cy Young contender.
