Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has a snarling slider and a good splitter, which are set up by a low-90s fastball that he generally keeps down in the zone. Can either start or relieve, but prefers to start.
Flaws
  • Could still use improved command of his change-up, especially if he wants to start regularly in the big leagues. Gives up his share of walks. Has been a reluctant reliever.
Career Potential
  • Versatile right-hander.
  • Awards
