Comments: Tall, strong hurler who led EL in ERA in career year. Results starting to match stuff thanks to improved control and increasing K rate. Added velocity and location to heavy FB and hard SL can be plus at times. CU also getting better with time. Pitches don't indicate a top-of-rotation guy, but is a keeper.
