Joe Harten  
Starting Pitcher | Paris Isotopes

Pitching
Harten also has a decent changeup. The Paris Isotopes hope he can work on his control a little bit. Every once and a while one slips away from him and either ends up at the backstop or in the right field bleachers. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. Harten has a lousy move to first, and opposing managers will run against him all day.

2014 Outlook
AA isn't the right place for Harten. Expect the Paris Isotopes to send him down for some minor retooling. I just don't know if The Paris Isotopes are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
