Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has a nice, four-pitch arsenal featuring low-90s heat, nasty slider, curve and change. Has a fluid, sometimes sneaky delivery.
Flaws
  • The southpaw has his struggles against right-handed hitters, who too often pound his stuff out of the park. Needs to develop endurance.
Career Potential
  • An annual 12-15 game-winner.
