Scouting Report

Assets
  • Can be used as a starter if the need arises, or as a situational left-hander here and there. Throws strikes early in the count when he's on.
Flaws
  • Struggles with his control from time to time, which makes him a risky rotation option. Elbow issues continue to plague him.
Career Potential
  • A long reliever and spot-starter.
