Scouting Report
Can hurl a mid-90's fastball and adds a hard slider, curve and changeup for a solid four-pitch arsenal. Is a workhorse with a bulldog mentality on the bump. Can display dominant stuff. Has occasional lapses in concentration, which can often lead to a long ball or big inning against him. Is not as dominant against left-handed hitters. Injuries are an issue here.
Long Range Potential: Inconsistent veteran starter, when healthy.
