Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has the mental makeup and the pure stuff to succeed in the bigs. Can paint the corners with his low-90's heat and be effective as both a starter and reliever.
Flaws
  • His mechanics have been a concern so far, as has his mediocre change-up. Left-handed hitters can hit him a little too well, which can limit his innings.
Career Potential
  • A back-of-the-rotation starter or long reliever.
