Scouting Report:
Nice 88-92 mph fastball with excellent movement. Can get up to 95
mph when he reaches back. Also throws a
splitter and an 80-82 mph slider. Not much there in terms of other secondary stuff.
Very aggressive in the zone, leading to a lot of strikeouts, but also a
lot of hits allowed. Missed most of 2008
season after undergoing elbow surgery. Came back to impress in the
Puerto Rican Winter League in the 2008-09 off-season. Still has
the potential to be a solid/average major league reliever. |
