Scouting Report

Assets
  • His nasty slider baffles right-handed hitters and he generally has good command over all of his pitches. Can also strike batters out in key spots.
Flaws
  • Needs to mix things up better to avoid being exposed on the mound, if out there for too long per appearance. With runners on base, he can get a little distracted.
Career Potential
  • Solid, versatile reliever.
  • Awards
