Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has a four-pitch arsenal featuring low-90s heat, a nasty slider, curve and change. Has a fluid, sometimes sneaky delivery. Works quickly and efficiently and yields very few walks. Is durable.
Flaws
  • A bit of a late bloomer, he can lose his focus from time to time--which used to set him back even more early on in his career. Will give up his share of hits because he's around the plate so much.
Career Potential
  • Outstanding lefty starter.
  • AwardsNamed to the All-Star GameNamed to the All-Star GameAL - Cy Young Award (Best pitcher)AL - Comeback player of the yearNamed to the All-Star Game
