Scouting Report

Assets
  • Doesn't back down from any hitter and is aggressive with all of his pitches. Has mid-90's heat and a terrific slider that makes him tough on righty hitters.
Flaws
  • Has a tendency to give up big hits at the wrong time. His mental makeup has cost him a closer's job in the majors more than once. Struggles under pressure.
Career Potential
  • Still a decent setup man.
