Scouting Report

Assets
  • An eite athlete and competitor. Has ridiculously good command of his mid-90s heat, a slider, a curveball and a change-up. Keeps the ball down. Shows excellent dedication to improvement.
Flaws
  • His intensity occasionally got the better of him early in his career, but he has learned to harness it. Was once a little too fine with his command.
Career Potential
  • Perennial Cy Young candidate.
