Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has an excellent heater and his stuff is particularly nasty against right-handed hitters. Works well with runners on base.
Flaws
  • Would be more effective if he got ahead in the count more. Tends to break down with overuse over the course of the 162-game schedule.
Career Potential
  • A solid late-inning reliever.
