Scouting Report

Assets
  • Induces a ton of groundballs with a tough sinker. Thrives with runners in scoring position and other shaky situations. Can log invaluable innings.
Flaws
  • Will occasionally be too fine with his location, to the point where he becomes predictable and very hittable. Needs to pitch beyond the sixth inning more.
Career Potential
  • A decent innings-eater for the rotation.
  • Awards
