Scouting Report

Assets
  • One of the hardest throwers in the game, working in the high 90s and sometimes hitting triple digits. He has reached the 103-mph mark on several occasions.
Flaws
  • If command of his fastball isn't there, Anderson tends to get beaten. He doesn't have a second pitch that he can throw consistently, meaning hitters sit back and wait for the heater.
Career Potential
  • Command problems are keeping him from being a quality big-league reliever.
