  Scouting Report & Links      
         
  Physical Description: Tallish, filled-out frame. Large lower half.

Mechanics: Over-the-top delivery. Starts on the right side, high leg kick.

Fastball: 93-95 mph four-seamer, uses the pitch about half the time. Has some sink, generates whiffs. Fringe-average pitch.

Changeup: 82-84 mph. Solid control and deception. Plus offering. Was his primary pitch at one time.

Slider: 81-83 mph show-me slider with glove-side action. Below-average.
  Career Notes: Missed 2016 season due to injury. Pitched in the AFL in 2019. September call-up for the Twins in 2021, served as an up-and-down bullpen arm in 2022 then pitched in 43 games for Minnesota in 2023. Had Tommy John surgery in November 2023, missing the 2024 season. Traded to Boston in December 2024 for Mickey Gasper.

Summation: Solid Triple-A depth with decent upside. Ceiling of a reliable middle reliever if healthy.

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