Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has three solid pitches, including a 90-m.p.h. heater. His slide-step delivery is rather effective against potential base-stealers.
Flaws
  • Though he can get himself out of trouble, he's a little too hittable and especially susceptible to the long ball. Right-handed hitters mash him.
Career Potential
  • A back-of-the-rotation starter or long reliever.
