Scouting Report
A reliever with a quality sinker-slider combination, he strikes out a lot of batters due to both his stuff and deceptive arm slot (he has a quick, short-armed delivery). Looks comfortable pitching in the later innings. Consistency in his delivery often eludes him, since he is rangy with a lot of moving parts. Also, his fastball velocity is isn't always up to snuff. Must keep the ball down or else he gets hit hard. Injuries are a factor here.
Long Range Potential: Solid, deceptive reliever, when healthy.
