Scouting Report

Assets
  • Owns one of the nastiest fastballs around, often hitting triple digits on the gun. Adds a strong change-up and curve. Is mentally tough.
Flaws
  • His curve is good but can get him into trouble when it's not biting. Is not great on back-to-back days out of the bullpen and prone to injury.
Career Potential
  • A top setup man with closing potential.
