Scouting Report

Assets
  • He's able to keep the ball inside the park and on the ground thanks to a hot mid-90s sinking fastball, and he adds a hard curveball and slider to keep hitters guessing.
Flaws
  • He occasionally gets distracted with runners aboard, particularly at second base. Tends to be cold over the first couple of months of the season.
Career Potential
  • A reliable 15-game-winner when healthy.
