Scouting Report

AssetsHas a very live arm, especially his great fastball, so he is capable of striking out a ton of batters (particularly at the minor-league level).
FlawsDoesn't have an ideal pitchers' frame at 5-11, 185 pounds. Therefore, stamina and potential injuries are issues with him.
Career potentialHard-throwing reliever with a little upside.
