Scouting Report

Assets
  • Owns a blistering fastball that peaks around 97 m.p.h. with good movement. Adds a decent change-up and slider. Is a reliever at heart who can dominate on the mound.
Flaws
  • Failed as a starter due to a lack of command, especially with regards to his slider. To be successful, he must avoid the big inning.
Career Potential
  • Solid closer, when healthy.
  • Awards
