Scouting Report
Owns a terrific fastball, which he combines well with his curve and changeup to rack up impressive strikeout totals in the minors. Can be truly dominant on the bump. Could stand to add strength and stamina in order to dominate at the big-league level. Adding more bulk would help him in that direction. Is a bit injury-prone.
Long Range Potential: Solid left-hander with a little upside, when healthy.
