Scouting Report

Assets
  • Throws low-90s heat and a good slider from a deceptive delivery, making the southpaw tough on left-handed hitters.
Flaws
  • Has had weight problems and his change-up is mediocre, leading to troubles against right-handed hitters. Wears down late in the season and can't pitch on consecutive days.
Career Potential
  • A solid left-handed closer.
