Scouting Report

Assets
  • Possesses excellent deception in his delivery, which enables him to strike a lot of batters out. Can start or relieve.
Flaws
  • Lacks ideal size and bulk, which can lead to endurance issues. Needs to work on a secondary pitch behind his solid fastball to keep the ball in the yard better.
Career Potential
  • Mid-rotation starter or late-inning reliever.
