Scouting Report

Assets
  • A hard-nosed lefty, he pitches in the 90-m.p.h. range and adds a "slurve" and change-up. His nearly-sidearm deliver is tough on left-handed hitters.
Flaws
  • When his location isn't on, he can get hit hard due to his relatively low velocity. Needs to be more effective at changing speeds.
Career Potential
  • A setup man with closer potential.
