Justin Collop, the sixth round pick of the Sox from Toledo, sounds like a guy ready to sign.

“I expected to go somewhere in the first 10 rounds. I’m ready. I’ve had a couple of weeks off. I’m good to go,” is what he told the Observer Newspaper, and Collop, fresh off of his junior season, is more than ready to sign. So what will the Sox be getting in Collop?

His numbers this past season were less than impressive. In 76 innings, he compiled a 4-7 record with a 6.51 ERA with 19 walks and 63 strikeouts. What has intrigued scouts the most, though, was his projectability, as well as a bevy of pitches that Collop throws, including a two seam fastball that sits around 90, a slider, a changeup, and a split finger pitch that he has been relying on more to get outs. His low walk totals as well as his willingness to pitch inside are also a couple of things that made him one of the most dependable starters in the MAC.

Collop has an easy, repeatable delivery and appears to field his position well. He figures to start in Great Falls or Bristol, and should sign quickly.
