Gonna give him a go later tonight. I'll try and remember to come back and give a small sample size scouting report.
How did it go?
Pretty good. I rely on the slider a lot and it was devestating. His fastball doesn't have the juice to blow by everyone like you would with DeGrom so you gotta use it in different spots. I caught my opponent looking a few times by picking the bottom inside corner with it. His sinker is kind of flat though and he gave up some hard contact on it. I would say he is in the second tier of pitchers with Cliff Lee and Roy Oswalt.

He doesn't have a sinker, but thanks for the feedback. He does have a nasty slider tho and pairs that with a good curve.

I pulled him but still working on the ohtani and acuna programs and collections so haven't used him in ranked yet but I would imagine he's gonna be pretty filthy, deceiving wind up kind of,

You're right, it's his 5th pitch however and not too effective like most pitchers with a sinker.

I got hit hard in my first game using him but it was against a ws player in division series. So I'm taking it with a grain of salt because honestly the game was close until an inning where I simply gave up a couple of hits, got mad and then got lazy. One thing I'd suggest with him is that since he has such a fast repeatable motion, vary the time you take between pitches with him a little more otherwise you'll give your opponent too many looks at his release too quickly.

Solid advise.
