Cody Bolton - Prospect

[sdimmick3]

I like watching prospects and how they move through-out the year. MLB says this guy is one to watch. Nobody has him on the top 30 that i know of.



Pittsburgh: Cody Bolton, RHP

Never an organization to shy away from high school pitching in the Draft, the Pirates took Bolton out of Tracy High School in Northern California in the sixth round of the 2017 Draft and gave him slightly over-pick value ($300,000) to sign him away from his commitment to Michigan. The 6-foot-3 right-hander has some projection to him and the Pirates liked what they saw from him this Spring Training after a solid debut in the Gulf Coast League last summer.



"He's just really mature and goes about his work in a different way and his outings with a different level of precision and intentionality that you don't usually get with a 19-year old," Pirates farm director Larry Broadway said. "And the stuff has been good. He's taken a nice step forward in this camp."

Bolton is a potential breakout prospect, but certainly not in 2018. It's highly unlikely that he'll get the workload this year to truly "breakout".
