Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has a very wiry body, so his 6-4 frame deceives hitters. Also boasts a live arm with plenty of potential for short relief.
Flaws
  • Has command issues and an inability to consistently throw strikes, which hurts his chances of getting the ball late in ball games.
Career Potential
  • A solid middle reliever.
