Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has good command over his entire arsenal, which includes low-90s heat and a nasty slider that keeps the ball on the ground.
Flaws
  • Doesn't have enough endurance, mainly because of his slight build. His fastball is a bit too straight, and he tends to elevate his pitches too much.
Career Potential
  • Versatile journeyman lefty.
  • Awards
