Scouting Report
A good athlete and former position player, he displays very good command of a fairly deep arsenal of pitches, in particular a great sinking fastball that can induce plenty of groundball outs. Lacks ideal size for a big-league pitcher. Needs to prove he can be a successful starter over a longer period of time, since he might be better off coming out of the bullpen at the highest level.
Long Range Potential: Decent right-hander.
