Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has good, sinking heat that can hit 93 m.p.h., as well as a great overhand curve ball, decent change-up and slider. Is nasty against righty batters.
Flaws
  • Doesn't always have great command of his breaking stuff, which gets him into trouble. Left-handed hitters paste him, so he needs to improve his change-up.
Career Potential
  • A quality mid-rotation starter.
