Scouting Report

Assets
  • Easily pounds fastballs in at 95-plus m.p.h. aggressively, while complimenting it with an improving arsenal--including a slider and change-up.
Flaws
  • Struggles to put together a game plan. Has trouble lasting seven innings. When he's not on top of his game, he's simply awful. Control is a big problem.
Career Potential
  • A high-risk/high-reward starter.
