Scouting Report

Assets
  • Is among the best in MLB at getting hitters to beat the ball into the ground and rarely over the fence, thanks to one of the top sinkers in the game. Is also reliable and durable.
Flaws
  • Gives up a few too many hits and his strikeout/walk ratio isn't great. Has a lot of trouble keeping runners honest and is a little weaker from the stretch position.
Career Potential
  • Sinkerball specialist and innings-eating starter.
  • AwardsNamed to the All-Star GameNamed to the All-Star Game
