Scouting Report

Assets
  • His one strong pitch is a nasty biting slider. He can occasionally dominate left-handed hitters and can bear down with runners in scoring position.
Flaws
  • He continually gets rocked by the longball because he has no command over his pitches and his fastball is hard but quite straight. That fastball will never be effective if he can't combine it with a decent off-speed pitch.
Career Potential
  • An occasional big-league reliever.
