Scouting Report

Assets
  • Known for his stellar control, his high-80's heat is effective because he mixes things up by changing speeds often. His curveball is his out-pitch.
Flaws
  • His soft stuff can be very hittable if he doesn't keep his head in the game, particularly with runners aboard. Is an unknown quantity as a starting pitcher.
Career Potential
  • A decent mid-rotation starter or strong setup man.
