Scouting Report
Had a good fastball, an ideal frame for a pitcher and tremendous competitiveness on the mound. Had pretty good control for a power pitcher and he could dominate via the strikeout in spurts. Lacked ideal stamina for pitching deep in games as a starter. Was very hittable if his command was off in Major League Baseball, and he lacked some consistency in his wind-up. His arm was also a bit fragile.
Long Range Potential: Inconsistent right-hander.
