Scouting Report

Assets
  • Is able to crank up his fastball into the mid-90s, and he also displays late movement. Also owns a good slider. He's an intense competitor on the mound, which helps him work out of jams.
Flaws
  • His change-up is inconsistent and needs to become a more useful pitch for him in order to maximize his talent level. Has to keep the ball down in the zone more to avoid a flurry of home runs.
Career Potential
  • Inconsistent but talented left-hander.
  • Awards
