Scouting Report

Assets
  • His fastball may top out at 90 mph but it's made to look much hotter thanks to his excellent change-up. He has excellent command over his arsenal, which also includes a nice curve.
Flaws
  • Still has some command problems against right-handed hitters, who tee off when they're not strolling to first. Needs to work on his endurance and mental toughness with runners in scoring position.
Career Potential
  • Decent late-rotation lefty.
