Scouting Report
Is blessed with an ideal pitchers' frame (6-4, 225 pounds) and plenty of strikeout ability, which makes him a candidate for either the rotation or a high-leverage relief role in Major League Baseball. Knows how to set up hitters. Must prove he can become more consistent and sustain a high level of success over time, especially as batters make adjustments to him. Also, he could stand to reduce the number of walks he gives up.
Long Range Potential: Talented, inconsistent right-hander with some upside.
