Scouting Report

Assets	Possesses excellent deception in his delivery, which enables him to strike a lot of batters out. Can be used as either a starter or reliever.
Flaws	Lacks ideal size and bulk, which can lead to endurance issues and has already led to injury trouble. Needs to work on his secondary pitches.
Career potential	Versatile right-hander with a little upside, when healthy.
