Career Transactions | |
Selected by Dodgers in 20th round of 2012 draft; signed July 12, 2012 | |
Background | |
A short righthander drafted out of East Carolina, Cotton had a 7.07 ERA with high Class A Rancho Cucamonga at the all-star break in 2014. But the Dodgers noticed he was tipping pitches, fixed it and he’s rolled since. | |
What to Watch For | |
Cotton’s likely future role in the big leagues is as a power reliever so the Futures Game will be a great preview. His 93-96 mph fastball and excellent changeup are big league ready although his curveball and control still need refinement. |
