Scouting Report

Assets	Has a great pitchers' frame and a lot of resiliency. Is crafty on the mound and versatile enough to be used as either a starter or reliever.
Flaws	Doesn't have a dominant strikeout pitch. Can get into trouble with the long ball, as well as when he starts walking too many batters.
Career potential	Versatile left-hander.
