Scouting Report

Assets
  • As a righty, he mows down right-handed hitters with his high-90's heat. He also gets ahead in the count fairly well. Can start or relieve.
Flaws
  • Left-handed hitters are a nightmare for him, and he has plenty of trouble pitching from the stretch with runners on.
Career Potential
  • A spot-starter or middle-reliever.
