ANALYSIS
The Vanderbilt righty has a prototypical starter's build at 6-foot-6 and 230 lbs. He doesn't have frontline starter velocity, as his fastball typically sits in the high 80s, but his command and deception have helped him miss enough bats. He throws a curveball, slider and changeup, though none of them is particularly good. He earns high marks for his makeup and feel for pitching, but he'll have to rely on those tools as well has his potentially plus command if he's to overcome his stuff and make it as a backend starter.
