    Few scouts say they expect Dotson to sign this year, but few will also be surprised if he develops over the next few years at Tulane. Dotson is only 17, young for the draft class, and he's a lanky 6-foot-6. He can touch 93-94 mph right now, but he generally sits 89-91 mph. His breaking ball is generally a well-below average spinner, but every now and then he will snap off a good one that shows he has some feel for spinning a quality breaking ball. Dotson is all about projection and potential right now, but it wouldn't be shocking if his fastball and breaking ball are two grades better in a few years.
