May-2014
When you watch Cotton you ask what he can't do. Plus runner (Sub 7.00 60 time), plus arm (Mid 80's from outfield), and explosive bat speed that produces underrated power from the lead-off position. Quin might be the best lead-off hitter in the state, and you can see him potentially being a No. 3 hole hitter for Regis as soon as this season.
