Gives up his share of fly balls, needs to cut down on home runs.
Not a strikeout pitcher, control can be iffy at times.
His stuff is average, nothing stands out. Seen by John Sickels as a good sleeper pick. I'd rate him a C prospect.
Delivery and mechanics
High delivery, over the top, mid leg kick, high back leg finish.
