The Book on Zach Britton
Prospect Info
Zach Britton
Born 12/22/1987
LHP, BAL
Selected by the Orioles in 3rd Round (85th overall) of the 2006 amateur draft, lefty Zach Britton is a slightly-built starter who went 9-6 with a 2.70 while pitching for High-A Frederick in 2009, striking out 131 in 140 innings of work. A ground-ball pitcher with a plus changeup, Britton is a sneaky, thinking man's pitcher who can outsmart even the best hitters and leave many looking foolish. He gets little attention in Baltimore thanks to the rich and deep farm system, but he could be the number one prospect on a lot of other ballclubs.
