Scouting Report

Assets
  • Adept at changing speeds and utilizing his good command, he works well with a sinker/slider/change-up combo. Can be used as either a reliever or starter.
Flaws
  • Would be more effective if he could improve his strikeout/walk ratio, but he lacks a true strikeout pitch at the big-league level.
Career Potential
  • Journeyman long reliever and spot-starter.
