Scouting Report

Assets
  • Boasts heat that tops out around 97 m.p.h, and he regularly pitches in the mid-90's. Also has a great slider and emerging change-up. A strikeout artist.
Flaws
  • Has work to do on his command and endurance. His smallish frame is a concern, because of the risk of serious damage to his arm down the road.
Career Potential
  • A potential staff ace with the stuff to dominate.
