Scouting Report: Right-handed reliever with a solid frame, pitched in Japan in 2017. Relies heaviliy on a four-seam fastball that sits 93-96 mph. Throws the pitch about two-thirds of the time. Mixes in a low-80s curveball and a 85-86 mph changeup. Unspectacular command.. Pitches lack great movement. No prominent split numbers. Profiles as an emergency up-and-down relief arm with the ceiling of a solid middle reliever.
