Scouting Report

Assets	Changes speeds and uses good command to get tons of groundball outs. His stuff is nasty against right-handed hitters, mainly because of his quirky, short-armed delivery.
Flaws	Unfortunately, there's a huge drop-off in his ability to pitch effectively against left-handed hitters, who can at times hammer him. Is also injury-prone.
Career potential	Versatile journeyman reliever.
