Scouting Report

Assets
  • Able to crank it up to the mid-90s, his fastball has nasty late movement and a strong slider. He's an intense competitor on the mound and works out of jams.
Flaws
  • Needs to set up that heat with his change-up more often and has to keep the ball down in the zone. Can improve his stamina.
Career Potential
  • Could be one of the game's better lefties.
