Scouting Report
A very good athlete, he owns an explosive fastball that can lead to a plethora of strikeouts (at all levels). Is a very aggressive pitcher who gets ahead in the count a lot. Does not really have a quality second pitch (let alone a third or even fourth delivery). Therefore, he needs to further develop one to maximize output in the bigs.
Long Range Potential: Power right-hander.
