Scouting Report

Assets
  • Smooth and crafty, he's quietly a dominant strikeout artist. Uses a slider, curve, and solid fastball to maximum effect. Has learned how to battle and win, and is pretty durable.
Flaws
  • Will lose his focus at times, leading to too many home runs (a career-long issue), and occasional big innings. Will make fielding errors. Also a bit of a late bloomer.
Career Potential
  • No.2 starter and strikeout pitcher.
