Scouting Report

Assets
  • Challenges hitters with his slick low-90's heat and tight curveball. Usually gets ahead in the count. Has the mental toughness to bear down with runners on.
Flaws
  • His stamina has always been in question, rarely able to last beyond the sixth inning. As the season goes on, his command starts to disappear.
Career Potential
  • A decent reliever or back-of-the-rotation righty.
