Scouting Report
: Journeyman righty reliever with a large frame. Over-the-top delivery, starts on the first base side of the rubber. Hides the ball well, short arm action behind. Arsenal includes a 90-92 mph four seam fastball, a high-80s cutter, and a high-70s curveball. Has shown flashes of success at the MLB and AAA levels. Had Tommy John Surgery in March 2013. Has primarily worked as a reliever since 2010, but not in a closing role. Able to stretch out as a starter if needed. Better splits against righties. Organizational depth arm.
