Scouting Report
Threw a quality fastball, and also added a slider and changeup to his repertoire. His strikeout ability made him a solid candidate to pitch in the late innings (at all levels). Had to endure a lengthy injury history, and had trouble proving he could stay healthy over the course of a big-league season. In fact, he retired early from Major League Baseball as a result of too many injuries.
Long Range Potential: Hard-throwing reliever (when healthy).
