RotoWire's Preseason Outlooks

2013

Subscribe now to see our 2013 outlook.

2007

The Red Sox have turned Hottovy into a starter although he had a four-year career at Wichita State as a reliever. He had some success at high-A Wilmington in 2006, but wasn't pitching against age-appropriate competition. He was less effective in seven Double-A starts. The lefty's best pitch is his curve, which is complemented by high 80s two- and four-seam fast balls and a decent change. At 25, he has just 41 innings above Single-A, so he won't be making an impact at the major leagues for at least two seasons.

2004

Among the slew of college pitchers taken by the Red Sox in the 2004 draft, Hottovy features good command of the strike zone.
