Baseball America writes: Houlton was Round Rock’s most consistent and
effective pitcher. He ranked second in the league in ERA and strikeouts (159)
, despite not having a pitch any scout or manager termed above-average. That
stood in contrast to [Ezequiel] Astacio or fellow Express starter Jared
Gothreaux, who has a plus slider, but Houlton has the best command of the
bunch and profiles as a fourth starter.
Houlton does it with a varied, deep repertoire. He throws his fastball in the
87-92 mph range, averaging right around 90 with it and throwing it for strikes
to all parts of the strike zone. Houlton also throws a solid average changeup
and curveball, and managers were split as to whether the curve or the change
was his best pitch. He also toys with a splitter and slider.
“He’s got a great feel for the ball,” said a scout with an American League
club. “He throws three pitches that are average, but he moves them all around
the strike zone. I like his chances.”
