Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has a live fastball and the off-speed stuff to rack up impressive strikeout totals. Is a cool customer that can be trusted in the ninth inning.
Flaws
  • When he occasionally gets into trouble, it's usually done quickly with a big inning or the long ball. So, concentration could be improved.
Career Potential
  • Elite closer.
