Scouting Report

Assets
  • Though a power pitcher with mid-90's heat, he also has a fantastic curveball and great command. Also displays a strong slider.
Flaws
  • He'd be even more effective with a better change-up, since left-handed hitters can crush him on occasion. Needs to improve his stamina.
Career Potential
  • Ace potential, but for now a strong No. 2 starter.
