Scouting Report

Assets
  • His herky-jerky delivery makes his already nasty stuff hard to read. His fastball can reach 93 m.p.h. and he can throw it with loads of movement.
Flaws
  • Still has some work to do on his change-up and slider. Also needs to work on his approach to right-handed hitters.
Career Potential
  • A mid-rotation starter.
