John Lackey

Bio

School: Texas
Drafted: 2nd round of the 1999 draft by the Los Angeles Angels
Scouting Report: A top-of-the-rotation work horse. Is consistent and usually around the plate. Has good control of an excellent arsenal that includes above-average heat, a slider, change and great curve. Leaving breaking stuff out over the plate often gets him burned. Is at times too much around the plate, making him occasionally vulnerable to free swingers.
