Scouting Report
Jack of all trades with a full repertoire of major league pitches to frustrate batters. High velocity on the four-seam fastball makes it difficult for opposing players to pick up, often resulting in them swinging through the pitches. Working with a solid changeup as his out-pitch, the movement on the slider needs to improve if it is going to be effective against more than just right-handed batters. With such a small margin of error, command of the ball becomes even more crucial and the difference between starting and operating out of the bullpen.
Long Range Potential: Talented right-hander with some upside.
