Scouting Report
Has a great slider, which complements his good fastball quite well. Owns a very solid build and can log reliable innings. Can strike plenty of batters out and displays dominant qualities. What may prevent him from becoming a dominant starter is a so-so changeup, which needs improvement. A lack of control can be problematic. Injuries are also a big problem for him.
Long Range Potential: Decent right-hander, when healthy.
