Scouting Report

Assets
  • He's aggressive and very hard to knock out of games. Uses two- and four-seamers quite effectively. His splitter is his most potent weapon.
Flaws
  • Over the last few seasons Appier has lost considerable velocity and has been forced to rely more on his splitter, so hitters are looking for it.
Career Potential
  • Former all-star starter is about as close to done as you can get.
