Scouting Report

Assets
  • Can consistently pump his heater into the mid-90's. Bears down with two outs and is strong with runners on base. Is a work horse with a rubber arm.
Flaws
  • His fastball is too straight, so hitters often tee off on him--especially lefties. Control is also an issue. Doesn't get enough strikeouts.
Career Potential
  • A solid middle reliever.
