Scouting Report

Assets	Throws darting low-90s heat, a slider and curveball--all with command. Has endurance and is able to log a boatload of innings.
Flaws	Doesn't have a dominant pitch, so he is somewhat limited in striking batters out. Can be too hittable and serves up too many gopher balls. Must always keep his weight in check.
Career potential	Average right-hander.
