Scouting Report

Assets
  • He's not a big man but manages to crank up the heat into the mid-90s and combine it with devastating pinpoint control. An innings-eater.
Flaws
  • Injuries have been the bane of his career since Day 1. Anyone who throws that hard at that size is bound to be injury prone.
Career Potential
  • A Cy Young candidate every year.
