Scouting Report

Assets
  • He's a bulldog on the mound with good command. Is able to induce plenty of groundballs. Can both start or relieve when the need arises.
Flaws
  • Has pretty soft stuff (mid-80's fastball), which can make him easy to hit. Left-handed hitters, in particular, get around on him really well.
Career Potential
  • A back-of-the-rotation starter or middle reliever.
