Scouting Report
His slider can be a devastating pitch, especially against right-handed batters, since he comes at hitters from a three-quarters arm angle. Also owns a good fastball, which runs away from hitters and usually stays down in the strike zone. Lacks a quality third pitch, which could force him to become a right-handed relief specialist at the highest level (if he proves incapable of getting left-handed batters out with regularity).
Long Range Potential: Deceptive reliever with some upside.
