Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has shown great control at lower levels, and a fairly solid arsenal of pitches. When he's on, he can also strike people out.
Flaws
  • Needs to get rid of the big-league jitters in order to let his natural ability take over. Must avoid the long ball.
Career Potential
  • Back-of-the-rotation starter or long reliever.
