Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has a big frame and solid arsenal of pitches. Is cool under pressure and typically crafty for a left-hander.
Flaws
  • Needs to cut down on his number of walks, since he doesn't often blow hitters away with his fastball or fool them with off-speed stuff.
Career Potential
  • A solid mid-rotation starter.
