Scouting Report

Assets Backs up mid-90's heat with a deep arsenal, including a good slider and strong change-up. Is relaxed in tight spots and is capable of getting out of trouble.
Flaws He's become a walking hospital ward, which threatens to limit a promising career. Doesn't get ahead in the count enough, creating high pitch counts.
