Cotts is a good location pitcher, which is able to help make up for the lack of velocity to his pitches. During his time here at ISU, as well as his time in the minors, Cotts used a wicked breaking ball to his advantage, and was able to fool many batters into swinging. Through time, I believe he's going to be a formidable major league starter, and in a couple years, perhaps a good #3 or #4 man in the rotation. If he can gain some velocity, however, he may be able to be a #2 starter someday.
