Scouting Report

Assets
  • Can crank the heat up into the mid-90's and adds a good change-up and slider. When he's on, the strikeouts usually follow.
Flaws
  • Failed as a starter because of endurance issues. Must do a better job of controlling his emotions. Walks too many batters.
Career Potential
  • A decent back-end starter or middle-reliever.
