Scouting Report
Had a mid-90's fastball that looked even faster because of his 6-11, 290-pound frame. Was perfectly suited to late-inning relief due to his intimidating presence and stuff on the mound. Didn't dominate as much as he should have, partly because he lacked consistency. A lack of stamina was also an issue. Also, his approach against left-handed hitters wasn't very good.
Long Range Potential: Intimidating but inconsistent late-inning reliever.
