Scouting Report
Is a consistent strike-thrower with an excellent changeup, so he is able to keep hitters off-balance with some regularity. Is quite crafty with a strong feel for pitching. Does not have ideal size for a starting pitcher in the big leagues, and also lacks truly dominant stuff. Also gets hit hard when his pitches tend to elevate in the strike zone.
Long Range Potential: Crafty left-hander.
