Physical Description: Sturdy
pitcher's frame. Thick lower half. No remaining projection.
Mechanics: Throws from a three-quarters arm
slot. No wind-up. Compact delivery. Short, rigid arm action with
a hook behind. Keeps his arm hidden until late, which makes him
tough to pick up.
Fastball: 90-92 mph.
Good angle with some life. Pitch plays above its velocity and
generates weak contact. Not a bat-missing pitch. Fringe-average
command and control. Fringe-average offering.
Cutter: 86-88 mph. Short, horizontal movement.
Effective when he gets it in on the hands of left-handed
hitters. Uses frequently to generate weak contact. Average
offering.
Slider: 77-80 mph. 10-to-4
shape with occasional depth. Good change of pace pitch when
sequenced correctly early in the count or late when a hitter is
expecting something different. Fringe-average offering. |
|
Changeup: 87-88 mph. Clear fourth pitch that he
rarely throws. Looks like a fastball he takes something off with
some sink. Below-average offering.
Career Notes:
MLB veteran who has pitched parts of 7 seasons, all out of the
bullpen. Journeyman who has played in seven organizations.
Missed most of the 2013 season with right shoulder injury.
Traded from St. Louis to Miami in June 2015 for Steve Cishek.
Spent time as Miami's closer in 2018. Traded to Washington for
international amateur bonus pool cap space in October 2018. Was
pitching for High Point in the Atlantic League when the Red Sox
signed him to help fill out a Worcester rotation thinned
significantly by MLB and AAA injuries. Posted impressive results
in Worcester and was added to the 40-man roster in August 2023.
Summation:
Solid organizational depth arm with the chance to contribute as
a spot starter if injuries plague the major league team. Mostly
fastball and cutter, but shows four pitches and sequences well.
Strong pitchability and feel on the mound. Pitches to contact
and struggles to miss bats, which limits upside.
