    Batts started his college career at Western Carolina and thrived after transferring to UNC Wilmington. He was the pitcher of the year in the Colonial Athletic Association in 2013 and 2014, thriving by pitching backwards, locating all his pitches and incorporating deception in his delivery. Despite modest velocity, Batts led the league in strikeouts in both seasons. He generally pitches at 85-88 mph with his fastball and locates a solid-average changeup and curveball well.
