Scouting report
It felt as though the Dodgers had moved on from Sborz because they had several other relievers like him around, except those other relievers had more option years left. Since dealing Sborz for Jhan Zambrano, components of Sborz's delivery are now timed differently, and his delivery has more pace. He's also added a curveball, and his fastball has more carry now than it did while he was with the Dodgers. Amid all these changes, Sborz is also throwing harder. He looked like a solid middle relief piece for the longest time but has clearly leveled up out of nowhere.
