Scouting Report

Assets	The big righty can pop the gun at 99 m.p.h. with a quick, compact delivery, while also featuring devastating off-speed stuff that he uses to rack up strikeouts. Also eats up innings.
Flaws	Needs to work on keeping the ball lower in the strike zone, since he tends to surrender a few too many homers. Also, his fastball tends to straighten out a bit too much from time to time.
Career potential	Elite workhorse starter.
