Scouting Report

Assets
  • He is a workhouse as a reliever as he was as a starter and racks up strikeouts thanks to a low-90s fastball combined with a deceptive, low-90s splitter, a curveball and a change-up.
Flaws
  • He has a tendency to get too excited and rely too much on his splitter. When that happens, he gets hit all over the place, including far over the outfield fence.
Career Potential
  • Decent career as a starter/reliever could be over.
