12/27/2009 - Christmas Camp and Tournament #2 Colton participated at Pirate City as both a Catcher and RHP, and again showed similar skills as 11/09. Colton has a tall, lanky frame and works hard behind the plate. He is a big target and works to get low. Colton receives the ball well and will need to strengthen his arm, and quicken his feet to further improve behind the plate. On the mound, Colton has an effective FB with sink. His mechanics are decent and he lands softly on his front foot. Colton will need to loosen his arm and actions in order improve mound presence and pitchability. Offensively, Colton has a good set-up, decent rhythm, and he swings at strikes. Offensive numbers can further improve by relaxing at the plate, keeping his front side closed, and keeping his hands high. Overall, Colton is a young player with a good build and skills to build on. With normal growth, maturity, and strength, we should see Colton improve.
