Scouting Report

Assets
  • Throws really hard with movement, and it's tough to hit. Is also very strong in clutch situations and can pitch on little rest.
Flaws
  • Right-handed batters hit him a little too well, and he doesn't throw first-pitch strikes often enough.
Career Potential
  • A strong setup man.
