Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has good command over his entire arsenal, which includes low-90's heat and a nasty slider that keeps the ball on the ground.
Flaws
  • There is concern that his slender build will make him injury-prone down the road, and it has also led to endurance problems.
Career Potential
  • A long reliever and spot-starter.
