Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has a nice, low-90's sinker and a good slider. Changes speeds and throws with good command. Works well on little rest as a reliever.
Flaws
  • Left-handed hitters see him (and hit him) far too well. Doesn't have quality pitches beyond the sinker and slider.
Career Potential
  • An excellent middle reliever.
