Scouting Report

Assets
  • His best quality is his ability to keep the ball low in the zone in order to induce easy grounders, particularly against left-handed hitters.
Flaws
  • Unfortunately, his wily sinker doesn't work at all on right-handed hitters, who have a tendency to pound him in succession.
Career Potential
  • A situational lefty.
