Scouting Report

AssetsDisplays good command of all of his pitchers, but especially his fastball. With an ideal pitchers' frame (6-4, 220 pounds), he is a reliable and versatile pitcher with pretty good stuff.
FlawsHis curve is only an average pitch, and he must be more consistent with it. Needs to find his niche in Major League Baseball in order to maximize his ability. Can be too hittable at times.
Career potentialSolid right-hander with some upside.
