Scouting Report

Assets
  • Primarily a fly-ball pitcher, he is most effective when he throws up and in with his mid-90's fastball. Keeps hitters off balance with a hard curve.
Flaws
  • His slow delivery affects his ability to keep runners close at first base. He doesn't have a strong pickoff move and is bothered by runners on base.
Career Potential
  • A valuable late-inning lefty.
