Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has a very live arm. His fastball runs in the high 90s and his curveball is a real bender. Can be dominant as a strikeout artist when he gets on a roll.
Flaws
  • His fastball can be a little too straight at times and his curveball can be wild. Gives up far too many walks and home runs. Command is an issue.
Career Potential
  • Back-of-the-rotation starter or middle reliever.
