Scouting Report

Assets
  • A hard-nosed hurler with intimidating mound presence and a mid-high-90s fastball to match. Boasts a strong change-up as well.
Flaws
  • Needs to improve his breaking pitches and doesn't always through with his best velocity, which is when he gets hit hardest.
Career Potential
  • Can be a strong mid-rotation starter.
