Scouting Report
Has a lot of strikeout ability in the minor leagues, so he can be an option to pitch in the late innings. Hitters do not see the ball come out of his hand very well. For him, it is absolutely critical that he throws strikes consistently and avoids serving up too many free passes. Also lacks ideal size for a pitcher in MLB.
Long Range Potential: Decent reliever.
