Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has a good sinker, which he relies on heavily to induce numerous ground-ball outs. Can both start or relieve when necessary.
Flaws
  • Lacks a true strikeout pitch, which means he has to rely too much on his defense to bail him out of trouble.
Career Potential
  • A back-of-the-rotation starter or long reliever.
