Scouting Report

Assets
  • His best asset is his fearlessness. Can come after hitters from different arm angles with a mid-90's fastball and superb slider. Has a great move to first.
Flaws
  • Control and command of the strike zone is always an issue with him. Getting out of the first inning is often his biggest problem on the mound.
Career Potential
  • A wildly effective mid-rotation starter.
