Scouting Report
His nasty slider baffled right-handed hitters and he generally had good command over all of his pitches. Could also strike batters out in key spots in the big leagues. Did not mix things up enough, so he was exposed on the mound if out there for too long per appearance. With runners on base, he could get a little distracted.
Long Range Potential: Solid reliever.
