Scouting Report

Assets
  • The flamethrower can crank the heat into the upper 90s with scary movement. He also adds a hard curveball. Has a bulldog mentality on the mound.
Flaws
  • Occasionally get rattled and loses composure, leading to the rare big inning against him. His slight build probably needs a few more pounds for longevity considering how hard he throws.
Career Potential
  • Top-tier closer.
