Scouting Report

Assets
  • A live, high-90s fastball is his greatest asset, coupled with a nice slider to keep hitters honest. When he's got runners on, he keeps them close.
Flaws
  • His pitch selection is questionable when the situation is crucial, leading to some less than appealing results with runners in scoring position.
Career Potential
  • A strong closer.
