Scouting Report: With a fastball that can reach the upper-90's, he keeps hitters off-balance by mixing in a hard breaking curve. Has tremendous control and can work inside. Has a wealth of injury and durability issues that continue to wreak havoc with his career. Hitters also have a lot of success on his first pitch.
