Scouting Report
Game revolves around his sinker — which sits in the low 90′s — and can get it into the 94-95 mph range at times, and has hit 96 mph. Throws the pitch 55%-70% of the time. Slider is an above-average pitch and a true weapon against lefties, and only improving. Changeup is a work in progress, and is slightly below-average. Does an excellent job of keeping his slider and sinker down in the zone, but struggles to command changeup at times. Smooth mechanics. Gets into the driveline early, which should allow him to rack up the innings. Complete package and perfect pitcher for Camden Yards. Very good mound presence. Projects as a #2-#3 starter.
