Scouting Report

Assets
  • Still has lots of movement on his fastball and is still tough on left-handers. His pickoff move is one of the best in the business and he's a great defender.
Flaws
  • Shoulder pain has hampered his ability to throw the slider the past few years and his formerly hard heat has lost considerable velocity.
Career Potential
  • A quality mid-rotation starter.
