Scouting Report

Assets
  • Can rear back and boost his low-90's, darting heat to 95 m.p.h. when needed. Has a nasty slider and good change-up. Works well with runners on.
Flaws
  • Needs to avoid the big inning in order to fully blossom as a starting pitcher. Could still use work on his stamina and ability to throw first-pitch strikes.
Career Potential
  • A mid-rotation starter.
