Scouting Report

Assets
  • Throws darting low-90s heat, a slider and curveball--all with tremendous command. Has great endurance and is able to log a boatload of innings.
Flaws
  • Doesn't have a dominant pitch, so he is somewhat limited in striking batters out. Can be a little too hittable and serves up too many gopher balls. Must always keep his weight in check.
Career Potential
  • Innings-eating right-hander.
  • Awards
