Scouting Report

Assets
  • His hard sinker is downright unhittable when he cranks it up into the upper 90s. Also has a good slider and the ability to dominate via the strikeout. Can intimidate due to a massive frame.
Flaws
  • Lacks consistency. Can lose focus from time to time. Doesn't usually pitch more than an inning, since his stamina isn't great. Isn't always as effective when pitching on back-to-back days.
Career Potential
  • Talented closer with consistency issues.
  • AwardsNamed to the All-Star GameNamed to the All-Star GameFlorida State League (A) - All-Star Team
