Eddie Hooten  
Relief Pitcher | Atlanta Braves

Pitching
He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. Though Hooten can't just blow the ball by hitters, he has some giddyup on his fastball. He struggles with his command at times and is still learning to mix his pitches and set up hitters. Hooten also has a decent changeup. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Hooten, and that's saying a lot. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
Hooten's move to first base is average. Hooten is nothing special in the field. Hooten is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Hooten has some pop in his swing.

2010 Outlook
If Hooten doesn't perform, the Atlanta Braves won't hesitate to send him down to the minors. I just don't know if The Atlanta Braves are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
