Scouting Report

Assets
  • A deceptively dominant strikeout pitcher, he mixes a sneaky-good fastball and great curve to keep hitters off-balance. Is both tenacious and consistent.
Flaws
  • Has not been able to avoid injuries enough to maintain a standard of excellence. Therefore, endurance and durability are issues.
Career Potential
  • Quality lefty starter, when healthy.
  • Awards
