Scouting Report

Assets
  • His hard sinker is downright unhittable when he cranks it up into the upper 90's. Also has a good slider and solid command. Bears down with runners on.
Flaws
  • The lack of an effective change-up can hurt him against left-handed hitters. Isn't always as effective when pitching on back-to-back days.
Career Potential
  • A potential closer and quality setup man.
