Scouting Report
A live, high-90's fastball was his greatest asset, coupled with a nice slider to keep hitters honest. Was quite durable. Owned plenty of experience pitching in the late innings. At times, he tried to be too fine with his pitches and that led to control issues and late-inning rallies against him. His meltdowns became a bit too frequent over time.
Long Range Potential: Talented late-inning reliever.
