Scouting Report

Assets
  • Can out-and-out bring the gas (consistently hitting the upper 90s). Mixes in a nice curve to keep hitters off-balance. Limits walks and homers. Has shown excellent poise and a bulldog mentality.
Flaws
  • Has had conditioning (and therefore durability) issues in the past. Needs to disguise his pitches better versus righties.
Career Potential
  • Stud closer.
