Scouting Report

Assets
  • His fastball hovers in the low-90's but its sink throws off hitters. Also boasts a nice slider and nerves of steel in tight spots. Also has deception.
Flaws
  • Needs to get a little sneakier with his first pitch to batters. Left-handed hitters have an easier time against him. Health is an issue.
Career Potential
  • A quality closer.
