Scouting Report

Assets
  • He has a sneaky fastball to go along with an incredible sinking change-up. He's adept at coming off the mound to field his position.
Flaws
  • When he's off his game, he has trouble spotting his pitches and too often tries to blow it by them. When he does the latter, hitters just belt it out of the park.
Career Potential
  • Wild inconsistency makes him a borderline big-leaguer starter.
