Selected 30th overall by the Cardinals in the 2006 draft, Ottavino dominated hitters at Northwestern University with a K/9 rate over 10 and a notable ability to handle tough left-handed hitters. He projects a promising mix of confidence and stuff, and scouts see him as a future middle-of-rotation starter. He's had a rocky time in the minors so far, but his advanced mental game and advanced skills should come together sooner or later.

Ottavino's main pitch is a heavy 95mph fastball that he throws more than half of the time. He combines it with a plus slider and a developing change that will launch him into top-flight prospect status if he can master it. Until then, he's a bottom of the pack fighter.
