Scouting Report

Assets	Throws a lot of strikes and had a strong tendency to get ahead in the count in the minor leagues. Has a great pitchers' frame. Owns a nice looping curve, which he uses as a strikeout pitch.
Flaws	Needs to cut down on the number of hits he allows, keep the ball in the park and also work on improving his control. Sometimes, he falls in love with a pitch and forgets to mix in others.
Career potential	Solid left-handed starter.
