Don Colton  
Relief Pitcher | Free Agents

Pitching
He's a pretty good ground-ball pitcher, which I like because ground balls stay in the park. He struggles with his command at times and is still learning to mix his pitches and set up hitters. His composure needs work. When Colton starts getting hit, he gets mad and loses concentration. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. No one questions this guy's heart. They do question why he just can't get it done late in the game. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
Though he lacks a good pickoff move, he checks the running game with a compact stretch delivery. Colton is nothing special in the field. Colton is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Colton has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Free Agents have been known to use Colton as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2014 Outlook
It's really a shame he hasn't caught on somewhere. He might be a decent addition to someone's bench.
