Scouting Report
With a heater reaching the mid-to-late-90's, he was very tough to hit against when able to mix in even a few off-speed pitches. Always had a workhorse mentality. However, he also always had trouble keeping his weight in check. Did not have great stamina later on in his career and was more prone to injury. Had an infectious personality and a golden arm.
Long Range Potential: Quality innings-eating right-hander.
