Scouting Report

Assets
  • Is plenty versatile and a team-first pitcher. His fastball runs in the high 90s and his curveball can be a real bender. As a reliever, he has the stuff to rack up strikeouts.
Flaws
  • His fastball can be a little too straight at times and he can lose command of his curveball, too. Gives up too many walks. Stamina is an issue as a starter.
Career Potential
  • Versatile journeyman right-hander.
  • AwardsTexas League (AA) - Most Valuable PitcherTexas League (AA) - All-Star Team
