Scouting Report

Assets
  • He's at his best when blowing his 94-mph heater past hitters and he's a workhorse who can pitch on consecutive days.
Flaws
  • Struggles with his control at times but proved that his fastball is good enough to get him out of most jams. Unfortunately, he doesn't have much beyond his fastball.
Career Potential
  • Good late reliever.
