Scouting Report
A big left-hander with an ideal frame (6-4) and great stuff, he can strike plenty of batters out. When on his game, he can be 'effectively wild' with his pitches. Walks too many batters when his mechanics are slightly off, which sets him back to some extent. His injuries have been a major story in his development.
Long Range Potential: Decent left-hander, when healthy.
