Scouting Report
Owns a very live arm and a projectable frame. Can be used as both a starter and a reliever in the minors, which adds to his overall value to Major League Baseball organizations. Displays great velocity on his fastball, plus he throws a changeup, slider and curve. Generally lacks consistency with most of his offerings and can at times struggle to repeat his delivery. Must improve the command of his arsenal in order to maximize output at the highest level.
Long Range Potential: Talented, versatile but inconsistent right-hander with some upside.
