Scouting Report

Assets
  • Is a true gamer and has a resilient arm. Can either start or relieve effectively, and has the ability to strike batters out.
Flaws
  • Gets into trouble when he's giving up too many long balls. Is probably better suited to relief duty because of questionable stamina.
Career Potential
  • Capable back-of-the-rotation starter or middle reliever.
