Scouting Report

Assets
  • An intense pitcher, he can crank his sinking heat into the mid-90's with good command, while adding a strong change-up, slider and knuckle-curve.
Flaws
  • Doesn't have a dominant strikeout pitch and needs to be better with runners aboard. Rarely pitches out of the sixth inning. Is a bit too hittable.
Career Potential
  • A decent mid-rotation starter.
