Scouting Report
His fastball is impressive but his slider can be even better. Works well in tight spots and is fearless when pitching in the late innings. Suffers from command problems at times, especially with his fastball. Injuries are also a factor here. Can be hurt by the long ball.
Long Range Potential: Veteran reliever in decline.
