Scouting Report

Assets
  • Keeps the ball in the park with remarkable efficiency. He has a deceptive fastball and the greatest cutter the game has ever seen. Is incredibly durable.
Flaws
  • Isn't very good with his move to first base. Doesn't throw anything soft, so he's hittable when his command is off. Righties hit him better than lefties.
Career Potential
  • An all-time great closer.
