Oversized righty w/FB, minimal command or secondary pitches. Closer mentality without closer
stuff. XL frame. Barrel chested. Very heavy lower body. Some BF. Resembles Bobby Jenks. Hard
time repeating funky deliv. Big leg lift. Spread out @ top. Poor balance over rubber. Rushes. Lots
of effort, comes off mound hard. Stiff pie throwing A/A. Slow arm. Minimal deception w/arm as it
gets up early in clear view. Don't see him ever throwing quality strikes with effort level and
inability to repeat his mechanics. Light FB not as advertised. Control of FB hurt by multiple slots.
Forced to back off considerably if he needs a strike. Works mostly in 88-92 range. Movement is
mostly to cut side w/FB. Cups slurvy SL out of hand. Inconsis. and sloppy. Release varies. Poor
command. CH is straight and firm if FB is only in the high 80's. Doesn't throw enuf strikes to see
him as big leaguer. Makes too many mistakes w/FB and gets smoked. Closer is out of question as
he lacks strikeout pitch and strikethrowing ability to trust in late innings. Very capable of blowing
up and walking four in a row. Is an org. player based on where he was drafted. Cup of coffee @
AAA level.
