Scouting Report

Assets
  • His fastball dances and he adds a change-up and slider to the mix and isn't afraid to challenge even the most fearsome hitters.
Flaws
  • He's horrible at holding runners on thanks to a slow delivery. His fastball is inconsistent and often ends up in the seats behind him.
Career Potential
  • A serviceable back-of-the-rotation starter.
