Scouting Report

Assets
  • A finesse pitcher, he uses an impressive changeup to deceive hitters and strike them out regularly. He mixes his pitches well to keep batters off-balance.
Flaws
  • Does not have a great fastball, so he needs to do a better job of spotting it. When hitters figure him out, he gets hit very hard. Gives up too many homers.
Career Potential
  • A decent mid-rotation lefty.
