Scouting Report

Assets
  • Low-mid-90s heat and strong slider and change-up, backed by impressive poise and command for a young pitcher. That slider is killer against left-handed hitters.
Flaws
  • Still needs to work on his approach to right-handed hitters, as well as his endurance.
Career Potential
  • Inconsistent southpaw.
