Bednar gave up a hit and a walk in a scoreless ninth inning Tuesday to record his 12th save of the season in a 1-0 win over the Cardinals.
Scouting Report
Has excellent stuff, so he can strike out a plethora of batters in the minor leagues. It also enables him to serve as a closer at lower levels. Can be hurt by the long ball, so he needs to curb that tendency if he is to become a solid option for high-leverage situations in Major League Baseball.
Long Range Potential: Talented reliever with some upside.
