| Control | |||||
| Control | 40 | 45 | — | — | Around the plate w/ 3-4 pitches in best sequences, though zone runs away on him and walks have been a problem in SP role. Less pressure on maintaining control deep into outings in relief. Fiery mound presence that translates well to late innings. |

Overall Summary
Power FB and 3-4 pitch mix give some chance to start despite iffy command, though short stature and trouble limiting walks make a move to the 'pen more likely. Plus stuff fits well in relief and could make him a bullpen weapon; upside of high-leverage setup RP.
