Scouting Report

Assets
  • The former shortstop shows tremendous command over a deep arsenal that includes a sinker, slider, splitter, curveball and change-up.
Flaws
  • Given his relatively mediocre fastball, he needs to maintain that command throughout the game or else he gets hit hard.
Career Potential
  • A back-of-the-rotation starter or long reliever.
