Scouting Report

Assets
  • Hitters tend to beat his hard, low heat and swooping curveball into the ground. Has impressive command, especially for such a tall guy.
Flaws
  • Needs better off-speed stuff in order to make it as a big-league starter. Has so far been woefully inconsistent in the bigs.
Career Potential
  • A back-of-the-rotation starter or reliever.
