Scouting Report
Owns an ideal pitchers' frame (6-5, 230 pounds) and an excellent slider, which can be his best pitch. His fastball is also a quality pitch, so he can strike plenty of batters out. Lacks command of his pitches, which leads to a lack of consistency on the mound. Also needs to continue to work on his pitching mechanics and repeating his delivery.
Long Range Potential: Huge, inconsistent right-hander.
