Scouting Report

Assets
  • Can occasionally reach triple digits on the radar gun with his fastball. Also boasts the off-speed pitches to be a dominant strikeout pitcher.
Flaws
  • The long ball has been a big problem, especially in critical spots, throughout his career. Left-handed hitters hit him a little too well. He's a little fragile, confidence-wise.
Career Potential
  • Power reliever with great stuff, but mixed results.
  • Awards
