Scouting Report
A control artist, he owns an excellent sinker that can induce plenty of groundball outs. He also mixes in a decent cutter, which helps him get left-handed bats out. Can either start or relieve. Does not have great velocity on his fastball, so he can get hammered when he loses command of the sinker. Also, his curveball still needs work in order to become useful in the big leagues.
Long Range Potential: Versatile sinkerball specialist.
