Back with Rome the next year, he collected 10 wins with a 4.51 ERA in 28 games (24 starts). He struck out 121, tying Jasseel De La Cruz for 4th in the Braves chain while only Kyle Wright had more wins among their farmhands. He tied Jose Olague and Grayson Rodriguez for 4th in the South Atlantic League in victories and missed the top-ten in strikeouts by two. He recorded a 2.33 ERA in 14 games for the Naranjeros de Hermosillo in the winter, and he was 1-0 with a 4.72 ERA for them in 2020-2021 after the coronavirus shut down the minor leagues in 2020.

The Hermosillo native was 4-5 with a 3.57 ERA in Rome in 2021, and his ERA was 4.50 with a 3-2 record in 7 appearances for the Mississippi Braves.
