    RHP Jason Cairns began his college career at Central Michigan as an infielder, transferred to John A. Logan (Ill.) Community College as a sophomore, then returned to the Chippewas as a full-time pitcher. Throwing from a low three-quarters angle, he gets a lot of sinking life on his 90-94 mph fastball. In 96 innings, he has permitted just one homer and nine extra-base hits this year. To succeed as a pro reliever, Cairns will need to improve his command and develop a reliable second pitch. He uses a splitter and slider but relies almost solely on his sinker.
