Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has a nice, four-pitch arsenal featuring low-90s heat, nasty slider, curve and change. Has a fluid, sometimes sneaky delivery. Works quickly and efficiently and yields very few walks. Durable.
Flaws
  • A bit of a late bloomer who had focus lapses earlier in his career. Will give up his share of hits because he's around the plate so much.
Career Potential
  • Cy Young contender.
