Scouting Report
His hard sinker is downright unhittable when he cranks it up into the upper 90's. Also has a good slider and the ability to dominate via the strikeout. Can intimidate due to a massive frame. Lacks consistency. Can lose focus from time to time. Has stamina issues, mainly due to a massive frame that can at times lead to weight issues. Injuries can also be a factor for him.
Long Range Potential: Veteran reliever.
