Scouting Report

Assets
  • What makes the left-hander successful is the fact he is just as tough on right-handed bats as he is on lefties. Throws an excellent curveball.
Flaws
  • When he gets into jams, he tends to overthrow. He experiences occasional mental lapses that have really haunted him in the past.
Career Potential
  • A back-of-the-rotation starter or long reliever.
