Has good size and plenty of pitching savvy (though not a typical crafty left-hander). His arm is resilient enough to pitch deep in games. Can baffle and frustrate hitters when on top of his game. His stuff is not always dominant (by Major League Baseball standards), so he can be susceptible to the long ball in the big leagues. Lacks consistency at times and can also be somewhat fragile.

Long Range Potential: Excellent left-handed starter, when healthy.
