Scouting Report
Would battle when on the mound and rarely gave into batters. Could be used as either a starter or reliever. Had the ideal pitchers' frame (6-3, 230 pounds). Too many walks were always an issue, as he lacked control of the strike zone and couldn't avoid the big inning. His strikeout/walk ratio was also an issue.
Long Range Potential: Versatile right-hander.
