Scouting Report
Had the funky delivery from the right side that was most effective against right-handed batters, since it was deceptive with good velocity. Also featured a good slider. Unfortunately, he did not have great stuff against left-handed batters. Also had control issues that occasionally limited his effectiveness from time to time.
Long Range Potential: Solid, quirky reliever.
