Overall Summary
Quality arm and athletic build with enough feel of the arsenal to fit in the middle of a big league rotation. Bit passive on the mound at times with a mediocre delivery; struggles with spin, and will encounter difficulty at the highest level if pitch can be easily eliminated by opposing batters. A more compact arm and open front limit fastball impact and velocity does play down; command projects well enough to survive.
