Scouting Report

Assets	A live, high-90s fastball is his greatest asset, coupled with a nice slider to keep hitters honest. Is quite durable.
Flaws	At times, he tries to be too fine with his pitches and that leads to control issues and late-inning rallies.
Career potential	Quality veteran late-inning reliever.
