Scouting Report

Assets
  • Owns a low-90's fastball and a biting curve. Gets the job done in tight situations and can take the mound on consecutive days.
Flaws
  • His command is still a little rough, and he needs some work on his change-up. Tends to weaken after 30 or so pitches.
Career Potential
  • A decent setup man.
