Scouting Report
Has pretty good size and excellent command on the bump. His fastball is average but both his breaking ball and changeup are a notch above the mean. Can be used as either a starter or reliever, which adds to his overall value in MLB. Can at times get dinged for too many home runs, usually because his pitches elevate a little bit too much.
Long Range Potential: Versatile left-hander with a little upside.
