Comments: Tall and physically strong, he has makings of mid-rotation starter, maybe more. Peppers lower half of zone with a heavy 2-seam FB, but can lose command of it easily. Best two off-speed pitches are CB & CU. Added a SL, improving his overall bag of toys. Physically gifted, the ball comes out easy with a little deception.
