Scouting Report

Assets	Has a workhorse mentality on the mound and bears down in the clutch. Uses a curveball as his main out-pitch. Is a tremendous leader on a pitching staff.
Flaws	His fastball is somewhat straight and hittable. Throws too many strikes and doesn't fool hitters enough. Needs to avoid the big inning to be successful.
Career potential	Veteran right-hander on the decline.
