Used deception and a side-arm delivery to get batters out. Had a very good pitchers' frame. Definitely found his big-league niche as a reliever. Was very resilient and could pitch on consecutive days. Was never overpowering, and so he relied on his defense a little more than teams want from relievers in crucial situations. Lacked a dominant strikeout pitch, especially against left-handed batters. | |
Long Range Potential: | Quality, crafty late-inning reliever. |
