Scouting Report
Is plenty versatile and a team-first pitcher. His fastball can at times run in the high 90's and his curveball can be a real bender. Has the stuff to rack up strikeouts. His fastball can be a little too straight at times and he can lose command of his curveball, too, so he tends to lack consistency. Can give up a lot of walks in MLB.
Long Range Potential: Journeyman right-hander.
