Scouting Report

Assets
  • Likes to keep the ball down in the strike zone with a nasty, low-90s sinker and hard curveball. His stuff gives fits to right-handed hitters because he's deceptive.
Flaws
  • Has a tendency to get a bit too jittery on the mound. His arsenal lags after the sinker and curve, so left-handed hitters see his pitches too well.
Career Potential
  • Journeyman reliever.
  • Awards
