Scouting Report
| Assets |
Predominantly a power pitcher, he has enough in his arsenal to successfully work out of jams. His jolting change-up and breaking curve are out-pitches.
|
|---|
| Flaws |
Tommy John surgery has reduced his dominance as a closer, especially because of a loss in fastball velocity. Base-runners salivate with him on the mound.
|
|---|
| Career potential |
Still a solid closer when healthy.
