Scouting Report

Assets
  • His awkward delivery and sinking fastball keep hitters off balance, and he has great control that keeps him around the plate, even in crucial game situations.
Flaws
  • He has a very big, looping curveball that you can see coming from a mile away. Tends to struggle with runners on.
Career Potential
  • Solid late-reliever.
