Scouting Report
His changeup is great and his curve is not far behind, both complementing his low-90's fastball. Has a good mind for the game and knows how to pitch. Tends to leave his fastball up a little too often, leading to too many home runs allowed. Command and control can be an issue from time to time.
Long Range Potential: Veteran left-hander in decline.
