Scouting Report

AssetsOwns great command of his above-average fastball, and he knows how to pitch. Also has a great changeup, which is his best pitch for strikeouts. His curve is also above-average, and he mixes his three pitches quite well.
FlawsNeeds to add more bulk to his 6-3 frame in order to improve his stamina and overall big-league upside. Also, his command needs to continue to be pinpoint, since he can't get by with his stuff alone in Major League Baseball.
Career potentialQuality left-hander with upside.
