Scouting Report

Assets
  • An intense pitcher, he can crank his sinking heat in the mid-90s with good command. Has enough of an arsenal to strike batters out regularly, but he's also a control artist.
Flaws
  • His main weakness is the high number of home runs he allows, since his pitches elevate. He's also not overly dominant, in terms of his stuff. Is a bit too hittable in general.
Career Potential
  • Solid starter.
  • Awards
