Top 50 Twins Prospects: #50 Matt Fox

50. Matt Fox

Starting Pitcher

Throws: Right

Age: 26

Estimated Time of Arrival: 2011

Potential: #5 starter or long relief man

2010 outlook: Should be in AAA Rochester’s rotation, or the bullpen



Matt Fox was drafted in the 2004 draft as a supplemental first round draft pick. He missed the entire 2005 year because of a shoulder injury. Last year he made 26 starts for AA New Britain. He pitched over 150 innings and went 9-9 with a 3.58 ERA and a 1.32 WHIP. He struck out 120 batters. Fox could have been in Minnesota right now if it weren’t for his shoulder injury. He was arguably the best pitcher for the New Britain Rock Cats this year. The biggest problem he has is his age. He will turn 27 this December.
