Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has a deep selection of pitches to choose from. He's a smart pitcher with good control. Induces a lot of ground balls and is also a good fielder.
Flaws
  • Can't throw the ball past a lot of hitters. Doesn't have a good pickoff move. When runners get on, he tends to slow the game down way too much.
Career Potential
  • A steady mid-to-late-rotation starter.
