Baseball America ranked Tim Collins as the 30th best player in Toronto Blue Jays farm system. He has been amazing coming out of the bullpen so far in his minor league career. Here is what he did last year:
2008: 4 - 2/1.98 ERA/.995 WHIP/68.1 Innings Pitched/14 Saves/98 Strikeouts/32 Walks.
Collins went un-drafted coming out of high school, but he did get noticed and eventually signed by Toronto. With those type of numbers you would think someone would have seen this talent and drafted him and he would be higher than 30th on Toronto's prospect list. Well, first of all Tim Collins stands at 5'7 and weighs 155 pounds. Second of all, nobody real knows how or why he is dominating batters. It puzzles a lot of people, but whatever he is doing is certainly working because he is still doing extremely well this year.
2009: 2 - 2/2.62 ERA/1.000 WHIP/24.1 Innings Pitched/43 Strikeouts/10 Walks
So far his ERA and WHIP are higher than last year, but he is still tearing it up. His K/9 this year (16.1) is higher than last year (12.9), which is unbelievable. Also, his K/BB ratio this year (4.30) is higher than last year (3.06). When someone is striking out batters 4 more times than they are walking batters that is outstanding. It will certainly be interesting to see how the rest of this year plays out and how he does at AA, AAA, and hopefully the majors in the future.
