Scouting Report
Lanky and whip-smart, this sinker specialist unleashes a sneaky-high amount of velocity. Susceptible to getting hit if he leaves it up in the zone, his two-seam sinker is nonetheless a plus pitch and his best weapon. Able to sell the changeup due to pretty good arm speed, the cerebral right-hander would need to improve control and command to stick in the majors.
Long Range Potential: Talented but inconsistent right-hander.
