WTM’S PIRATE PLAYER PROFILES
Rossiter transferred to Arizona State after two years in junior college at Central Arizona College.  As a hitter he makes contact and hits for a decent average, but hasn’t shown more than doubles power.  He reportedly is a good defensive player with a good arm, but he threw out only 16% of base stealers in 2012.  Baseball America rated him the 14th best prospect in Arizona.
