Scouting Report

Assets
  • He's devastating on left-handed hitters because of the way he gets his slider to run in on them. His durability allows him to take the mound on consecutive days.
Flaws
  • Right-handed hitters tee off against him a little too easily. He can't pump his fastball much above 90 mph.
Career Potential
  • He'll keep retiring the tough left-handed hitters.
