Scouting Report
Has an electric arm and a great pitchers' frame. He is also a tremendous athlete for a pitcher. Can be effective as a workhorse starter in either big league. Has become more consistent in his mechanics, but it hindered his development early on and he at times reverts back to old habits in his wiry delivery.
Long Range Potential: Veteran, workhorse starter.
