	Scouting Report & Links

	Physical Description: Thin, athletic build. No remaining projection. Mechanics: Throws from a low-three-quarters arm slot, starting in the middle of the rubber. Medium leg kick. Gets low in his delivery and hides the ball well. Average extension. Fastball: 89-91 mph. Tops out at 92 mph. Primarily throws a sinker, which he uses more than 50% of the time. Heavy drop, generates a lot of ground balls. Inconsistent command and control. Slider: 79-82 mph. Primary secondary pitch. Two-plane movement that’s more horizontal than vertical. Changeup: 82-84 mph. Show-me third pitch, not often utilized. Thrown almost exclusively to right-handed hitters. Has some movement, but not a ton of separation from his sinker.		Career Notes: Drafted by the Nationals in 2010 but did not sign. Worked as a starter for his first three years in the Cardinals' system. Dropped his arm angle in the minors in 2016. Made major league debut as a reliever with St. Louis in 2017. Had Tommy John surgery in June 2018 and was released two months later. Signed with the Rays as a minor league free agent in October 2018. Stepped away from baseball for roughly two weeks in April 2021 while dealing with mental health/anxiety issues and has continued to speak out about the subject of mental health in baseball. Pitched for Team Israel in the 2017 World Baseball Classic qualifiers and will do so again in the 2023 World Baseball Classic. Was claimed off waivers by the Phillies in November 2021. Missed considerable time in 2022 with bicep tendonitis. Signed by Boston as a minor league free agent with an invitation to major league spring training in 2023. Summation: Potential emergency up-and-down left-handed specialist. Solid organizational type who could potentially carve out a major league role if he is consistently getting lefties out. Note: This page will be updated with a complete scouting report after the scouting team has seen the player in person. Links -
