Scouting Report

Assets	Displays a lot of pitching savvy on the mound. Is extremely reliable and durable. Has a wicked curve that left-handed hitters especially have trouble with. Can both start or relieve.
Flaws	Gives up too many hits, mainly because he usually lacks the velocity to blow batters away. Tends to struggle in the early innings when used as a starter, in particular.
Career potential	Inconsistent lefty.
