Scouting Report

Assets
  • Can crank the heat up on his 97-m.p.h. fastball, plus he throws a decent curveball. When he gets ahead in the count, he's almost unhittable.
Flaws
  • Tends to hit a wall in the seventh inning. His quality fastball lacks movement, which leads to a lot of home runs. Must throw less, pitch more.
Career Potential
  • A back-of-the-rotation starter or decent reliever.
