General - Looking to make his Cardinal debut in 2003 after missing the entire 2002 season to an arm injury that needed "Tommy John" surgery ... Expected to be back at full strength by the start of the season after continuing his rehabilitation in the fall of 2002 ... Excellent fastball that consistently reached into the low 90's during his prep career ... Hides the ball well from hitters ... Should improve tremendously as he begins pitching competitively again.
