Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has excellent control and a solid fastball that clocks in at 90-95 m.p.h. He's particularly nasty against right-handed hitters.
Flaws
  • He's easily distracted by base-runners, which often results in a very high ERA with runners in scoring position. Lacks consistency.
Career Potential
  • A back-of-the-rotation starter or long reliever.
