Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has tremendous stuff and the ability to dominate hitters. Owns a couple of strikeout pitches that give batters fits.
Flaws
  • Durability may be an issue, since he's relatively smallish (5-11, 185 pounds) for a starter. Needs to avoid the big inning.
Career Potential
  • A quality No. 2 or 3 starter.
