Scouting Report
Had an ideal pitcher's frame (6'3", 224 pounds). Though experiences as a starter, he found his niche as a late-inning reliever in Major League Baseball. Also boasted good strikeout ability. Could be hurt by the long ball, since he had a tendency to occasionally leave his pitches up in the strike zone. Was more hittable the more hitters saw him.
Long Range Potential: Quality left-handed reliever.
