Scouting Report

Assets
  • His heat sits in the mid-90's and reaches 97 m.p.h. on the gun, and his three-quarters delivery makes him tough to pick up. Adds a nasty slider and guts.
Flaws
  • Command has been a huge problem since he turned pro, and left-handed hitters tend ot see his delivery far too well. Lacks consistency.
Career Potential
  • A strong late-inning reliever with closer potential.
