Scouting Report

Assets
  • Doesn't give in to hitters easily, and is a true battler on the mound. Is versatile as either a starter or reliever.
Flaws
  • Doesn't have enough of a strikeout pitch and is a little too hittable for the big-league level. Struggles with the long ball.
Career Potential
  • Back-of-the-rotation starter or long reliever.
