Scouting Report
Had the ability to strike batters out, which got him out of jams with regularity. Was especially tough on left-handed hitters. At times, he struggled with his fastball command. Walked a few too many batters and allowed a few too many home runs. Was fairly durable and pitched well into his late 30s.
Long Range Potential: Solid left-hander.
