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. Can start or relieve.
Flaws
  • Injuries are a factor with him. Walks too many batters. Needs to improve his breaking pitches. Must find his big-league niche before it's too late.
Career Potential
  • Versatile, yet fragile right-hander.
