Scouting Report:
Stocky right-hander with a filled-out frame. 3/4 max effort
delivery. High leg kick, also kicks right leg up on follow through.
Confident swag on the mound. Four-seam fastball sits 90-93 mph, is
primarily used to set up his other pitches. Solid two-seam sinker works
around the same velocity as his four-seamer and generates a lot of
groundballs. Above-average changeup sits 81-83 mph with
drop-off-the-table movement. Below-average low-80s show me slider.
Occasionally mixes in a mid-to-high 70s curveball with slurvy action.
Decent control. Can be prone to give up home runs. Has some room to
make improvements to how he mixes his pitches. Has struggled against
lefties. Has primarily served as a starter over his career except for a
short stint as a reliever with Tampa Bay. Profiles as a solid emergency
up-and-down starter with the upside of a fifth starter with some
pitchability tweaks. |
