Scouting Report

Assets
  • Displays a lot of pitching savvy on the mound. Is extremely reliable and durable. Has a wicked curve that left-handed hitters especially have trouble with.
Flaws
  • Gives up too many hits, mainly because he usually lacks the velocity to blow batters away. Tends to struggle in the early innings of his starts.
Career Potential
  • Inconsistent lefty starter.
