Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has an intimidating frame for a major-league starter. Is also a smart pitcher with a great feel for the position and good arsenal of pitches.
Flaws
  • Is a little too hittable, as he doesn't take advantage of his intmidation qualities nearly enough when on the bump. Must also improve his strikeout/walk ratio.
Career Potential
  • Mediocre starter with some upside.
  • Awards
