Scouting Report
Owned an ideal pitcher's frame and an explosive fastball. Could dominate batters via the strikeout and make any hitter whiff on any of his pitches. Had the makeup and competitiveness of a true staff ace. Injury issues were a problem for him. After early success in MLB, he struggled to make adjustments and became largely inconsistent. Big-league batters eventually figured him out. Once he lost some of his electric stuff, he was never able to put it all together again.
Long Range Potential: Inconsistent but talented right-hander (when healthy).
