Scouting Report

Assets
  • An elite athlete and competitor, he has ridiculously good command of his mid-90's heat, slider, curveball and change-up. Keeps the ball down. Walks very few batters and has improved his strikeout rate to dominant levels.
Flaws
  • Has learned to harness his intensity but will occasionally lose his composure on the mound. Could stand to be a little more durable.
Career Potential
  • Perennial Cy Young candidate.
