Has great stuff and mound presence, which allows him to often dominate on the bump. Can strike out a ton of batters per start. His velocity on his fastball is excellent and his command is improving. At times, his elevated pitches get him into trouble. Doesn't own ideal size for a starting pitcher at the big-league level, so stamina may be a factor. Must also keep the walks to a minimum. | |
Long Range Potential: | Talented right-hander with a little upside. |
