Scouting Report

Assets
  • He's a crafty southpaw with a good arsenal of pitches. Very accurate in spotting his fastball, looping curve, and splitter/change. Stays around the plate and yields few walks.
Flaws
  • On the rare occasion he loses focus and/or command, he gets hit hard. Doesn't have a dominant heater.
Career Potential
  • Quality setup man.
