Scouting Report

Assets
  • Is cool on the mound. Has a decent fastball that he uses to set up his off-speed stuff, including a good splitter. Displays consistency in relief.
Flaws
  • Tends to surrender too many hits, which can lead to trouble. Must also do a better job of keeping the ball down, since home runs often get the best of him.
Career Potential
  • Versatile veteran reliever.
