Scouting Report
Backed up a mid-90's fastball with a deep arsenal, including a good slider and solid changeup. Was relaxed in tight spots and was capable of getting out of jams consistently. Became a walking hospital ward, which unfortunately limited a promising career. Didn't get ahead in the count enough, creating high pitch counts. Lacked stamina as a result.
Long Range Potential: Talented right-hander with strikeout acumen, but also with health and stamina issues.
