Scouting Report

Assets
  • Contreras brings an impressive arsenal highlighted by a hot dancing fastball and a wicked splitter. All his pitches have excellent movement.
Flaws
  • The great movement on his pitches can be a downside, in that he too often loses command and the strike-zone. Gets rattled, and then gets hit hard.
Career Potential
  • Streaky mid-to-late rotation starter.
