Are you going to be jumping up in the air that you’ve got a fourth starter? You should be.
There’s the conversation that he’s a bullpen guy, but his command and competitiveness will allow him to be a No. He sat 92-93 mph when I saw him, but this guy is way too good to be ranked as low as he is. He throws a ton of strikes, gets ahead in the count frequently and then toys with hitters. He can throw high-and-inside fastball then go high and away, down and in with the fastball and then back down and in with the slider. It’s like he’s got eight pitches because of where he can locate them. They don’t know which pitch they’ll get, if it’ll be a strike or ball and where it will be located. His ability to locate the other two pitches in all parts of the zone makes hitters very off-balance. He also has a changeup, but it’s below average and he doesn’t throw it very often. His slider is a plus slider with late and big power finish to it that he can throw for strikes and chases as well. The carry and life on it misses bats, and he can throw it right down the middle and get swings and misses. He’s uber-competitive and even though his fastball sits in the low 90s and touches the mid-90s, he locates it in several parts of the zone.
Scout says: He’s leading the minors in strikeout rate and has been the most impressive pitcher I’ve seen this year who is not Eury Pérez.
