Scouting Report

Assets
  • Brings heat and a nasty sinker to the mound, plus a big, sweeping curveball. He can be especially tough on right-handed batters.
Flaws
  • Has had control trouble in the past, and he also tends to wear down after the fifth inning. Needs to find a greater level of consistency.
Career Potential
  • A mid-rotation starter.
