Scouting Report
Is good at pitching to contact and displays impressive command of his arsenal. Has an ideal pitchers' frame. Can also finish what he starts when on top of his game. Is not a true strikeout pitcher, so he gives up a few too many hits and serves up a few too many long balls. So, he needs to put away hitters earlier in the count.
Long Range Potential: Veteran, innings-eating starter.
