Scouting Report
Owns a mammoth (6-7) frame, so he can be an intimidating mound presence. Has the ability to serve the role of closer in the minor leagues, due to impressive strikeout ability and the right demeanor for the role. If he is to become a consistent reliever in Major League Baseball, he will need to drastically improve his control (he simply walks far too many hitters, at all levels). His massive frame hinders his pitching consistency.
Long Range Potential: Huge reliever with some upside.
