Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has overpowering heat that can jump up to the high 90s, along with a good slider/splitter combo. Right-handed hitters can't get a handle on him.
Flaws
  • Tends to have command problems, especially up in the zone, which results in too many longballs. Left-handed hitters hurt him.
Career Potential
  • Can become a decent late-reliever.
