Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has a quality fastball and one of the best change-ups in the big leagues. Gets ahead in the count and works quickly. His command is consistently excellent.
Flaws
  • Could use a little more stamina to finish what he starts more often. At times, he's not efficient enough with his pitches. Gives up a lot of home runs.
Career Potential
  • The best left-handed starter in the game.
