Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has solid sink on his high-80's fastball, and mixes in a slider and change-up. Is versatile enough to be used as a starter or reliever.
Flaws
  • His command needs to be almost perfect, since he doesn't have the repertoire to blow hitters away due to his mediocre fastball.
Career Potential
  • A solid middle reliever or spot-starter.
