Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has a deceptive delivery that makes his 90-m.p.h. fastball look good. Backs it up with a strong change-up and solid curve.
Flaws
  • His command can get him into trouble at times, and he doesn't have one truly dominant pitch for the bullpen.
Career Potential
  • A decent left-handed reliever.
