Scouting Report
Has pretty good size and enough stuff to be used as a closer in the minor leagues. Strikes batters out with regularity. Owns the ability to dominate at lower levels. Can also be used as a starter, which adds value. Must prove himself against better competition at the highest level. Can get into trouble when he starts walking too many batters, even at the minor-league level. Needs to find his niche in Major League Baseball.
Long Range Potential: Versatile right-hander.
