Player's ability to throw strike after strike makes me believe he's got a chance to be a big league pitcher. The ceiling is that of an emergency starter for a big league ball club, but spending most of his time with the team's Triple-A affiliate.
He's a kitchen sink type pitcher -- mixing and matching his arsenal from the first pitch -- and a competitor on the mound that wants to win. The stuff doesn't wow, but he does show a few usable offerings. More importantly, he pounds the strike-zone with all four pitches and shows an average command profile, though mostly arm side of the plate.
