| Control | 40 | 50 | — | — | Primary pitches are sinker and slider. Fights bouts of wildness now and can be vulnerable to the free pass. Needs to iron out delivery in order to improve control. |

Overall Summary
If he can iron out mechanics and control/command, has the tools to be a mid-rotation starter. Heavy power sinker w/ both a SL and CH that flash above-avg upside. Has the stuff to pitch from the 'pen if he needs a fallback. Injury history and projection on pitchability add risk.
