Scouting Report
His sinking fastball is a consistent weapon, as is his breaking pitch. Also displays excellent control and creates enough deception in his delivery to make life miserable for batters. Lacks the same level of consistency in his changeup that he has with both his fastball and breaking ball, so left-handed hitters can feast on him when he is not on with his change.
Long Range Potential: Excellent right-hander with good upside.
