Scouting Report
Spotted his fastball effectively and owned one of the best changeups in the big leagues. Got ahead in the count and worked very quickly. His command was consistently excellent. Defended his position well and even hit a little. Never really had the stamina to finish what he started, right up until the end of his career. At times, he was not efficient enough with his pitches. Gave up a lot of home runs. Injuries became a big factor at the end of his career.
Long Range Potential: Savvy, sensational left-hander.
