Scouting Report

Assets	Is a crafty southpaw with a good arsenal of pitches. Can be accurate in spotting his fastball, and adds a looping curve and great screwball--which is his out-pitch. Deceives hitters by looking away from home plate during his delivery.
Flaws	Whenever he loses focus and/or command, he gets hit hard. Doesn't have a dominant fastball. Also tends to be less effective if he's over-exposed. Has a tendency to lose the strike zone, too.
Career potential	Inconsistent lefty reliever.
