Scouting Report

Assets
  • His fastball, which is consistently clocked in the 90s, and his unorthodox side-arm delivery, are big pluses.
Flaws
  • He could still stand to refine his off-speed stuff and needs to rethink his approach against left-handed hitters, who have routinely pounded him.
Career Potential
  • Once had closer potential, but now a borderline big-leaguer.
