Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has hard, darting heat, pumping up to 96 mph. His slider is strong as well and left-handed hitters just can't hit him.
Flaws
  • Mechanics have given him a hard time, as has command in a big way. Right-handed hitters crush him.
Career Potential
  • Has setup potential if he improves his command.
