Scouting Report

Assets
  • He has mid-90's heat but it's his slider that does the dirty work. For a righty, he does a good job against left-handed hitters.
Flaws
  • Endurance has been his biggest flaw, often keeping him out of the rotation. He has trouble bearing down with runners in scoring position.
Career Potential
  • A serviceable middle reliever or spot-starter.
