Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has overpowering stuff and the makeup for a late-inning relief role. Is at his best when he's limited to one inning of work.
Flaws
  • Doesn't have enough pitches to be a successful starter, and struggles if exposed for too long on the mound. Can struggle with his command.
Career Potential
  • A quality setup man with closer potential.
