Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has a snarling splitter, which is set up by low-90's heat that he generally keeps low to keep the ball in the park. Works effectively on little rest.
Flaws
  • Could still use improved command of his slider and change-up to ensure future success in relief. Still wants to be a starter, and is a reluctant reliever.
Career Potential
  • A very good setup man if he wants it.
