WTM’s PLAYER PROFILE |
| Troutman is a college senior who pitched as a reliever this past year for Lander University. He posted a 2.96 ERA in 27.1 innings, with a 30:13 K/BB ratio. He was a catcher earlier in his college career, but switched to pitching full time in his junior year after poor results at the plate the prior year. He throws 90-93 with a slider. Troutman signed quickly.
2019 Troutman pitched in relief at Bristol. Other than a good K rate, he mostly struggled. He had trouble with both right- and left-handed hitters, and he finished the season especially badly, with a 9.31 ERA in August. He had some trouble with gopher balls, allowing better than one every six innings. Troutman could end up back in short season ball in 2020. |
