Scouting Report
Is a constant and consistent strike thrower, which helps keep his defenders behind him on their toes. His fastball is his best pitch, and he uses it effectively. Could stand to add a little bulk to his 6-4 frame in order to thrive in the big leagues. Also needs a bit more work on his breaking pitches to dominate.
Long Range Potential: Excellent right-hander.
