Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has pretty good command and movement on a deep arsenal of pitches. His stuff is good enough to be very hard on left-handed hitters.
Flaws
  • Right-handed hitters pound him, which he needs to change to remain in the bullpen. Also needs to work on his approach with runners aboard.
Career Potential
  • A situational lefty.
