Physical Description: Tall,
lanky right-hander with no remaining projection.
Mechanics:
Throws from a three-quarters arm slot.
Easy, balanced delivery with the ball loosely coming out of his
hand. Excellent command and control.
Fastball: 94-96 mph four-seamer with natural
sink. His best secondary is a 91-93 mph cutter.
Splitter: 87-89 mph, utilizes the pitch about 20% of
the time. Has some sink and armside fade. Generates groundballs.
Slider: 83-85 mph. Sweeps across the zone
and drops late.

Career
Notes: Drafted by Colorado as a junior college
draft-and-follow in 2005, but suffered a torn labrum
and did not sign. Played in the indy leagues through 2010,
signed with Boston in March 2011. Showed promise in the Red Sox
system, traded to Colorado after the 2013 season. Developed into
a valuable bullpen piece, spending time with several MLB teams.
Returned to the organization as a free agent prior to the 2023
season.
Summation: Reliable veteran high-leverage
reliever.
