Scouting Report

Assets
  • Owns the stuff of a closer, with 97-m.p.h. heat and a stellar slider. His demeanor and profile fit best in late-inning situations.
Flaws
  • Needs to improve his command and approach, especialy when up against left-handed hitters. Consistency remains an issue.
Career Potential
  • A potential setup man.
