Scouting Report

Assets
  • His mid-90's fastball has tremendous movement, and he can throw it with pinpoint precision. Has remarkable poise and presence on the mound.
Flaws
  • Needs to rebound from injuries in order to maximize his enormous potential. Unreasonable expectations hurt him in Chicago, especially without good health.
Career Potential
  • A potential star right-hander if he can get healthy.
