Scouting Report

Assets
  • Can crank his heat into the mid-90's and adds a nice slider. Pitches well from the stretch with men on base.
Flaws
  • Has trouble getting left-handed hitters out with consistency. Needs a few days' rest between relief appearances to be effective.
Career Potential
  • A long or middle reliever.
