Scouting Report

Assets
  • The big righty can crank his fastball into the upper 90's, adding a slider and splitter to the mix. Can pitch with little rest.
Flaws
  • His command has been problematic at the Major League level. He could stand to develop a change-up to keep lefty bats honest.
Career Potential
  • A middle or long reliever.
