Scouting Report

Assets
  • His best pitch is a devastating slider, and he complements it with a fastball into the high 90s. Can be overpowering and racks up huge strikeout totals.
Flaws
  • Is a little fragile and can get burned by untimely home runs in the late stages of games. Lacks consistency, partly due to injuries.
Career Potential
  • Quality, yet inconsistent and injury-prone closer.
  • AwardsNL - Rolaids Relief ManNL - Comeback player of the yearNamed to the All-Star GameNamed to the All-Star Game
