Scouting Report
Could be absolutely dominant against left-handed batters. He was an uncomfortable pitcher to face, no matter the outcome. Combined a great fastball with a devastating slider, which was his out-pitch. Did not always harness his pitches in a game, which led to some ugly numbers. Injuries were also a problem and somewhat curtailed some of his high upside as a starting pitcher.
Long Range Potential: Inconsistent but talented left-hander.
