Scouting Report

Assets
  • His slider just isn't fair to hitters and his nasty heater sits in the mid-90's. He gets out in front and throws strikes.
Flaws
  • His change-up is merely mediocre, and he has struggled with runners in scoring position. Injuries are also an issue with him.
Career Potential
  • A quality setup man.
