Scouting Report

Assets
  • Can thrust high-90's heat from of his tall, lanky body. Also owns a strong slider and curveball, which works well against righties.
Flaws
  • He struggles with mechanics and command of his secondary pitches. Struggles with runners on base and needs to work on his endurance.
Career Potential
  • Live, inconsistent arm.
