The 20-year-old pitched well in his first taste of professional baseball, posting a 2.36 ERA in nine appearances (five starts) in the Arizona Rookie League in 2015. His 2016 campaign was cut short by injuries, however, and he posted a 5.79 ERA in three appearances (one start). According to MLBPipeline.com, he's now 30th among Rays prospects.
