Happy Birthday - 9/27

RHP Jamaine Cotton (22)
Originally from the Virgin Islands, Cotton was drafted in the 15th round in 2010 out of Western Oklahoma State University.  In 23 appearances for Tri-City this season, he was 2-1 with a 3.31 ERA and a 1.408 WHIP. He was extremely effective in June and July when he put up a 1.47 ERA and 1.091 WHIP before a couple of rough August outings inflated his numbers.
