Scouting Report

AssetsThanks to his wiry frame, he tends to deceive hitters nicely. Also boasts a good sinking fastball that can induce groundball outs with regularity. Is durable and reliable on the mound.
FlawsNeeds to improve his slider, which is inconsistent and hard for him to keep down in the strike zone. Overall, he doesn't strike a lot of batters out, which can be a problem vs. big leaguers.
Career potentialSolid right-hander with some upside.
