Scouting Report

Assets
  • His fastball reaches 88-90 m.p.h. and it sets up his nasty curve--his bread-and-butter pitch--quite nicely. Bears down in late-inning pressure situations.
Flaws
  • Arm problems have been a factor throughout his career. Can be wild at times. His fastball doesn't have the juice it once had, so he's more hittable.
Career Potential
  • A quality late-inning reliever.
