Scouting Report

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