Scouting Report

Assets	His fastball is impressive but his slider can be even better, particularly against left-handed hitters. Works well in tight spots.
Flaws	Suffers from command problems, especially with his fastball. Injuries are a factor here. Can also be hurt by the long ball.
Career potential	Solid late-inning reliever.
