Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has a mid-90's fastball that looks even faster because of his reach. His size heater, slider and curveball make him a frightening presence on the mound.
Flaws
  • A lack of stamina and injury problems forced him to convert from starter to late-inning reliever. Must work on his approach against left-handed hitters.
Career Potential
  • A potential closer if given the chance.
