Scouting Report

Assets
  • Gets by on deception and guile, since hitters never know what's coming. Has a wide variety of pitches and different arm angles. Is great in big games.
Flaws
  • Can get hurt when he throws the ball up in the strike zone, since his fastball rarely touches 90 m.p.h. these days. Injuries are a constant concern.
Career Potential
  • A mid-rotation starter when healthy.
