Totten was selected to Baseball America's short-season all-star team after heading a Yakima rotation that won the Northwest League title. He had the best professional debut among the Dodgers' 2000 draft class by topping the league in ERA. Totten throws strikes, keeps the ball down in the strike zone and isn't afraid to challenge hitters. While not overpowering, he moves his average fastball around in the strike zone. His best pitch is a plus slider that he'll throw when behind in the count. He still needs to upgrade his changeup in order to keep hitters honest. Totten so impressed the Dodgers during his debut that he has a chance to move quickly through the system. He'll open the 2001 season at Wilmington, with a midseason promotion to Vero Beach within reach.
