Scouting Report

Assets
  • A big lefty with a low-90s fastball, slider and change-up, all thrown with good command. He's especially tough against left-handed hitters.
Flaws
  • Right-handed hitters hit him way too well. Gets much weaker after 15 pitches.
Career Potential
  • Could start, but a solid lefty specialist for now.
