Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has a darting forkball that can be devastating. Mixes in a slider and a fastball in the low 90's. Excels against right-handed batters.
Flaws
  • Has to establish himself early in the count, or else he gets lit up. His move to first is somewhat ineffective. Needs to become more consistent.
Career Potential
  • A decent setup man.
