Scouting Report

Assets
  • What makes Sabathia so special, aside from the intimidation factor at 6-7, 290 pounds, is his devastating slider and ability to change speeds effectively. Can also work himself out of jams and has great control.
Flaws
  • Every now and then, he'll give into batters and surrender too many long balls. Has battled weight issues throughout his career.
Career Potential
  • One of the game's best southpaw starters.
