Scouting Report

Assets
  • At 6-8, 255 pounds, he's an intimidating presence on the mound. Can also start but appears to have found his niche as a reliever.
Flaws
  • Walks too many batters to be trusted in the late innings, and generally lacks command of his pitches. Is also a little too hittable at the big-league level.
Career Potential
  • Middle reliever with late-inning upside.
  • Awards
