Scouting Report

Assets
  • Changes speeds and uses good command to get tons of groundball outs. His stuff is nasty against right-handed hitters, mainly because of his quirky delivery.
Flaws
  • Unfortunately, there's a huge drop-off in his ability to pitch effectively against left-handed hitters, who can at times hammer him.
Career Potential
  • A strong setup man when healthy.
