Scouting Report
Wiry and deceptive, he confuses hitters and is able to rack up good strikeout totals at lower levels. Generally throws strikes, too, as he's around the plate most of the time. Has added significant bulk to his 6-2 frame, so he needs to adjust to having more strength and stamina (and keep his weight in check). Also, he doesn't have overpowering stuff.
Long Range Potential: Decent left-hander.
