Scouting Report

Assets
  • Is consistent and usually around the plate. Has good control of an excellent arsenal that includes above-average heat, a slider, change and great curve.
Flaws
  • Leaving breaking stuff out over the plate often gets him burned. Is at times too much around the plate, making him occasionally vulnerable to free swingers.
Career Potential
  • A top-of-the-rotation work horse.
