Scouting Report
Was good at pitching to contact and displayed impressive command of his arsenal. Had an ideal pitchers' frame. Could also finish what he started when on top of his game, as he was a candidate for complete games. Was not a true strikeout pitcher--he struggled to put away hitters early in the count--so he gave up a few too many hits and served up a few too many long balls.
Long Range Potential: Sound, innings-eating right-hander.
