Scouting Report
Can strike batters out regularly, and uses a sinking fastball with aplomb. Does not get rattled and will always battle when on the mound. Can dominate in MLB, especially left-handed batters. He is not always effectively wild, so sometimes his pitches get away from him. As a result, he tends to walk a few too many batters. Can lose his focus on occasion. Injuries are a huge issue.
Long Range Potential: Talented, fragile left-hander.
