Scouting Report

Assets
  • He's able to bear down with the best of them in late inning clutch situations. He's very tough against left-handed hitters and can pitch effectively on little rest.
Flaws
  • He lets things get to him too much. He'd much rather pitch for a more extended period of time than he does as a left-handed specialist.
Career Potential
  • A steady lefty reliever.
