Scouting Report
His massive frame and blazing fastball could intimidate batters. When on his game, he was as cool as a cucumber in pressure situations. Could close. Lost some effectiveness after pitching more than one inning, since his arsenal was somewhat limited. Had a little more trouble against left-handed hitters.
Long Range Potential: Solid, if inconsistent late-inning reliever.
