Scouting Report

Assets	His wiry frame and somewhat deceptive delivery gives batters fits, particularly lefty hitters. Has the fastball and overall makeup to rack up strikeouts.
Flaws	Sometimes, he has trouble harnessing his pitches, which leads to control problems. Needs to develop a little more consistency in order to maximize success.
Career potential	Solid lefty reliever.
