Scouting Report

Assets
  • Throws his low-90s fastball with pristine command. His curveball can also be nasty and he throws it all with a quick and easy motion. Is capable of logging major innings.
Flaws
  • Injuries are a concern. Also needs work on the consistency of his secondary pitches. He's a bit too hittable and not nearly dominant enough to compensate.
Career Potential
  • Crafty left-handed starter, when healthy.
