Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has good command of a wide variety of pitches, thanks to his training as a starter. Is a versatile, hard-nosed hurler who is solid in pressure situations.
Flaws
  • Failed as a starter largely due to a lack of stamina, so he can get hit hard if overexposed as a reliever as well. Can get into trouble if his fastball straightens out.
Career Potential
  • Quality lefty reliever, when healthy.
  • Awards
