Scouting Report

Assets
  • Puts his massive frame behind a fastball that can reach 100 m.p.h., and is equally effective against hitters from both sides of the plate. Can dominate.
Flaws
  • Will at times lose his composure, which usually leads to a blown save opportunity. Needs more work on locating his fastball and deepening his arsenal of pitches.
Career Potential
  • Quality closer.
