Could rack up strikeouts due to nasty, mid-90s heat and a mean slider. Did not get fazed when faced with pressure situations. Was particularly good pitching the eighth inning in a setup capacity. Injuries, and subsequently durability, were huge concerns with him. Also, he had some trouble holding runners close when they got on base. Was not quite as dominant in the ninth inning. | |
Long Range Potential: | Quality late-inning reliever, when healthy. |
