Displays an ideal pitchers' frame (6-6, 215 pounds). Has big-time strikeout ability and is a solid late-inning bullpen option. Can be an intimidating presence on the mound. At times, he elevates his pitches a bit too much (which leads to a high number of home runs allowed for a power reliever). Must always keep his bases on balls in check. | |
Long Range Potential: | Big, power reliever. |
