Scouting Report

Assets
  • When he's on, he induces groundballs and generally keeps the ball down in the strike zone. Is comfortable pitching often.
Flaws
  • His porous strikeout/walk ratio costs him a shot at becoming a more integral part of a bullpen. Is also a little too hittable.
Career Potential
  • A decent middle reliever.
