Scouting Report

Assets
  • His command is ridiculous, able to spot low-90s heat, slider, curveball and change-up around the strike zone and he's tremendously dedicated to self-improvement.
Flaws
  • Flaws are few and far between, but there is such a thing as being too fine with your command and Greinke's youth occasionally shows in that respect. He's also got to improve his stamina.
Career Potential
  • He'll grow into ace status.
