Scouting Report
A former outfielder, he was moved to the mound due to his outstanding arm. Has good size (6-2, 220 pounds) and plenty of strikeout ability. Since he used to play in the outfield, he is still somewhat raw and unrefined on the mound. Must cut down on his number of walks allowed.
Long Range Potential: Intriguing right-hander.
