Scouting Report

Assets
  • Induces tons of groundballs with his great command, tremendous change-up and good curveball. Throws harder when used in a relief role.
Flaws
  • Doesn't have much heat when used as a starter, and left-handed hitters hit him a little too well. Needs to shake the first-inning jitters.
Career Potential
  • A solid middle reliever.
