  Scouting Report & Links      
         
  Physical Description: Large frame, sturdy lower half. No remaining projection.

Mechanics: hrows from an over-the top arm slot, starting on the third base side of the rubber. Steps toward first base and finishes with back leg continuing in that direction. Smooth delivery but has some east-west movement.

Fastball: 91-93 mph four-seamer. Not a lot of movement. Mediocre control.

Splitter: 81-83 mph split changeup with armside fade and slight drop.

Slider: 80-85 mph slider. Cuts glove slide, falls off the table late. Misses bats.

Curveball: Show-me 74-77 mph curveball. Heavy drop, 12-to-6 movement.
  Career Notes: Signed by Tampa Bay in 2011, foregoing a commitment Cal State Fullerton. Has shown flashes of major league success.

Summation: Triple-A depth with versatility to start or come out of the pen. Control issues have limited opportunities.

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