Scouting Report
Has a strong lower base (he draws strength from his legs) and plenty of strikeout ability (and can be used as a closer) in the minor leagues. Has a lot of trouble with his control and will often surrender too many walks, which is a huge problem in MLB. Also elevates his pitches too much.
Long Range Potential: Journeyman right-hander.
