Scouting Report:
Tall right-hander with an ideal
pitcher's frame. Fastball is his best pitch and ranges from 92-96 mph,
which has touched 100 mph in the past. Has decent but
inconsistent slider that sits around 89-90 mph. Fringy changeup that comes
in at 85-90 mph. Really needs to work on command and control, as he
battles bouts of wildness. Also needs to trust his stuff and be more
aggressive against hitters. |
