Scouting Report
A former starting pitcher, he appears to have found his niche pitching as a reliever (thanks mostly to a blazing fastball that can hover close to triple digits on the radar gun). He also displays a somewhat wild delivery, which can often fool hitters badly. That wildness comes with a lack of control and struggles to repeat said delivery, which can undermine his good stuff. Lacks ideal size for a pitcher in MLB.
Long Range Potential: Inconsistent right-hander.
