Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has electric stuff. Escobar uses a plus-fastball, curve, and splitter to keep hitters off-balance. He doesn't give up many walks and can dominate when he gets rolling. Also versatile when needed.
Flaws
  • Is much better as a starter than as a reliever. While not exactly injury-prone, he rarely makes it to 200 innings in a season. Occasionally shows lapses in focus.
Career Potential
  • Top-of-the-rotation talent, with ace-like stretches.
