  Scouting Report & Links      
         
  Physical Description: Tall frame. Slender in the lower half. Athletic. No remaining projection.

Mechanics: Over-the-top delivery, starting on the third base side of the rubber. Low leg kick, gets good north south extension, finishes in the direction of third base. Easy, fluid mechanics.

Fastball: 86-88 mph cutter with heavy sinking action.

Slider: 76-78 mph with sweeping movement. Leads with it and utilizes it for about half of his pitch mix.

Curveball: 73-75 mph with glove side drop. Not much difference in velo from his slider, uses the pitch about 20% of the time.		   Career Notes: MLB vet spent time in eight organizations before signing with Boston. 2012 Rule 5 pick by Seattle.

Summation: Valuable Triple-A insurance. Left-handed specailist capable of contributing to a major league bullpen.

Note: This page will be updated with a complete scouting report after the scouting team has seen the player in person.
