Undrafted out of high school, former GM J.P. Riccardi signed Collins out of a tryout camp, as few scouts were interested in a left-hander who is listed at 5-foot-7, and that's more than just a bit optimistic. With a lightning-quick arm that can only be described as Lincecum-esque, he somehow gets up to 90-94 mph with the frame of a 12-year-old, while adding a plus curveball and tons of deception. Just 20 years old, Eastern League hitters are now 1-for-19 with 10 strikeouts against Collins, and he's going to defy everyone and get to the big leagues eventually.
The rest of the article is for insiders. But yeah, there's nothing I'd like more than to see Collins get to the majors and dominate people a lot bigger than him. It would inspire short people everywhere *tear*.
