Scouting Report

Assets
  • If you want ground balls, he's your man. His heat can reach the upper 90's on occasion, and he's really tough on right-handed batters.
Flaws
  • Has trouble consistently getting the velocity up on his fastball, so hitters sit on his off-speed stuff. Does he have the repertoire to start?
Career Potential
  • A decent starter or an even better setup man.
