Scouting Report

Assets	A power pitcher with a live arm, he throws a mid-90s fastball, a big breaking curve, decent slider and great change-up. When aggressive, he piles up the Ks.
Flaws	Could use more stamina to maximize his big-league starting potential. Needs to avoid the free pass a little more often. The big inning can do him in at times.
Career potential	Quality starter with good upside.
