Here's the scouting report on Astros first time starter:
[FONT=arial !important]
Jarred Cosart (RHP - HOU)
[/FONT][FONT=arial !important]Signed by the Phillies for $550,000 in 2008, Jarred Cosart quickly emerged as one of the more electric arms in the minors. Houston targeted him and Jonathan Singleton in the 2011 Hunter Pence trade but blisters interrupted his first full season in the Astros minor league system in 2012. He rallied late, allowing no earned runs in five of his last 10 starts, then threw well in the Arizona Fall League despite poor numbers. Cosart has a live, quick arm that produces a hard sinker that sits at 94-97 mph and touched 99 in the AFL. His fastball has excellent life down in the zone, which produces plenty of ground balls but makes the pitch tough to control. He excels at keeping the ball in the park, and he nearly got as many double plays (18) as he allowed extra-base hits (26) in 2012. Cosart throws his curveball with power, reaching 81-82 mph with good shape, and his solid straight changeup plays off his fastball well. Better command of his curveball would produce the strikeouts expected of a pitcher with such electric stuff. Cosart has shown flashes of brilliance but not consistency. Cosart pounds the bottom half of the strike zone well and is effective against both LHB and RHB.[/FONT]2013 STATS: Oklahoma City (AAA) – 17 g, 17 gs, 7-4, 3.29 ERA, 93.0 IP 50/93 BB/K 4.8 Ctl, .213 oppBA[FONT=arial !important]
