Scouting Report

Assets
  • Generates nasty, high-90's heat from the left side, which is tough on lefty bats. Also has a good breaking ball and change-up. Works well with runners on.
Flaws
  • Injuries were a big problem throughout his development. Command has also been a major issue, as it's prevented him from cementing a spot in the rotation.
Career Potential
  • A back-of-the-rotiation starter or late reliever.
