Physical Description: Average
pitcher's frame with a medium, athletic build. No remaining
projection.
Mechanics: Throws from a low
three-quarters arm slot, starting on the first base side of the
rubber. High leg kick. Slinging motion, falls to first base side
after release. Moderate effort in his delivery. Below-average
control.
Fastball: Comes in three variations. 90-94 mph
four-seamer with heavy sink. 89-92 mph sinker with extreme sink
and armside run. 87-91 mph cutter with below-average cutting
action.
Slider: 79-83 mp with sweeping two-plane
movement.
Changeup: 85-87 mph. Heavy sink and armside
fade. Not enough separation from his fastball.

Career
Notes: Nicknamed "Tsunami." Signed with the Red Sox in
2009, but the deal was later voided due to issues with birth
certificate and visa. Suspended for one year as a result. Signed
with St. Louis in May 2010 for $1.5 million. Some visa issues
persisted. Went on to become a National League All-Star with the
Cardinals. St. Louis declined his 2022 option and he signed a
minor league deal with San Francisco, who then released him in
late April 2022. Started the Tsunami Waves Foundation to help
children of need in Missouri and in the Dominican.
Summation: Effective major league pitcher
from 2013 through 2019. Struggled mightily during the 2020 and
2021 seasons. Reclamation project who needs to hone his control
before getting another shot.
Note: This page will be updated with a
complete scouting report after the scouting team has seen the
player in person.
