San Jacinto gets more exposure than most junior college programs, thanks to an ever-flowing talent pipeline that has included Roger Clemens and Andy Pettitte. Yet Bott had to sign as a nondrafted free agent after two years with the Gators. He was overshadowed by fellow lefty Zach Parker (now with the Rockies) and didn't stand out because he's a short lefthander without an overwhelming pitch. Bott has fared well as a pro, averaging more than a strikeout per inning, because he mixes three pitches and has command. His 83-88 mph misses bats because it's lively and he locates it well. His best pitch is his changeup, and he's trying to improve the consistency of his slider. He seemed more confident in his second tour of the California League in 2003, going after hitters more aggressively and cutting down on his walks. Bott contributed to Inland Empire's title run by winning two of his three playoff starts. He'll move up to Double-A with the similar Ryan Ketchner and Troy Cate this year.
