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.
