Scouting Report

Assets
  • The only regular two-way player in baseball, he can hit for power and decent average as a pinch-hitter. On the mound, he throws his sinker-slider combo for groundballs and is particularly effective against left-handed hitters.
Flaws
  • His lack of plate discipline kept him from emerging as a top outfield prospect in the mid-'90s. On the mound, he doesn't have much of a fastball and he tires quickly.
Career Potential
  • Finally found his niche as a pinch-hitter/middle-reliever.
