Scouting Report

Assets
  • Adept at changing speeds and utilizing his good command, he works with a sinker/slider/change-up combo. Can both start and relieve.
Flaws
  • Would be more effective if he could sustain his stuff for more than a handful of batters. Must improve his strikeouts/walk ratio.
Career Potential
  • A back-of-the-rotation starter or reliever.
