Scouting Report
Assets As a closer, Rivera has relied less on strikeouts and more on keeping the ball low, allowing his infielders to do their job and keeping the ball in the park with remarkable efficiency. He has a deceptive 96-mph fastball that darts around as though it's sliding on an oil slick. As a fielder, he ranks among the best pitchers in baseball.
Flaws His only flaw, aside from a lackluster move to first, would be that he is human and has the occasional bad game. Unfortunately, a bad game for a closer often means the game.
Career potential Hall-of-Fame caliber closer.
