Scouting Report
Has a projectable frame. Can both start or relieve in the minors but appears to have found his niche pitching out of the bullpen. Can strike batters out. Must fill out his big frame in order to maximize output in Major League Baseball (and also avoid big injury issues moving forward). Needs more polish.
Long Range Potential: Situational left-hander.
