Scouting Report

Assets
  • Predominantly a power pitcher, he has enough in his arsenal to successfully work out of jams. His jolting change-up and breaking curve are out-pitches.
Flaws
  • Tommy John surgery has reduced his dominance as a closer, especially because of a loss in fastball velocity. Base-runners salivate with him on the mound.
Career Potential
  • Still a solid closer when healthy.
