Scouting Report

Assets
  • Though he has low 90's heat, it's his curveball that does most of the damage, particularly against right-handed hitters. Knows his limitations.
Flaws
  • Left-handed hitters smack him around mercilessly. Needs to work on his endurance, because he clearly gets weaker after the fifth inning.
Career Potential
  • A decent back-of-the-rotation starter.
