Scouting Report
Assets
Has three main pitches that he throws quite effectively: A mid-90's fastball, change-up and a dizzying curve. Strikes out a ton of batters.
Flaws
Command has been an issue at times. His biggest flaw is a tendency to lose concentration. He's also injury-riddled, which hinders his value.
Career potential
A solid No. 2 starter when healthy.
