Scouting Report

Assets
  • Is a rare power-pitching left-hander with the ability to rack up impressive strikeout totals. Has dominated the minor leagues.
Flaws
  • Needs to do a better job of mixing his pitches because he's somewhat predictable--and as a result he becomes hittable.
Career Potential
  • A back-of-the-rotation starter or long reliever.
