Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has the ability to strike batters out, which makes him an even more valuable reliever than starter candidate going forward.
Flaws
  • For all his strikeout prowess, he's still a little too hittable. That could prevent him from becoming setup/closer material.
Career Potential
  • A back-of-the-rotation starter or situational lefty.
