Scouting Report

Assets
  • With a unique sidearm delivery, he can blow away batters with relative ease when on his game--especially righties. Is versatile and experienced.
Flaws
  • Control has been a major concern for him, resulting in a needless amount of earned runs over the years. Doesn't always accept the role he's been given.
Career Potential
  • A decent reliever or back-of-the-rotation starter.
