Scouting Report
Has some nasty stuff, including a low-90's fastball that he combines with a good curve and changeup. Can drop down in his delivery effectively versus left-handed batters, making him rather deceptive. Has trouble commanding his pitches from time to time, and he also puts too many batters on base with free passes when struggling. Needs to improve his stamina. Injuries have been a big problem.
Long Range Potential: Savvy left-hander.
