CLIENTS CASEY KOTCHMAN
To say that there are few better fielders in Major League Baseball than Casey Kotchman is anything but an exaggeration. Kotchman, currently the first baseman for the Cleveland Indians, holds the MLB record for most consecutive fielding chances without an error. From July 20, 2008 until August 21, 2010, Kotchman converted 2,379 chances -- besting the previous mark by more than 375. During that span, Kotchman also became only the third first baseman in Major League history to have a perfect fielding percentage for a season with at least 108 games. Over the course of his 727 games in the major leagues, Kotchman’s fielding percentage stands at an impressive .998. His bat contributes even more value to teams, as he showed off a career-high .306 batting average in 2011 with 153 hits and 48 RBIs. Selected by the Los Angeles Angels with the 13th overall pick of the 2001 MLB Draft, he started the 2006 season for the Angels. He subsequently played with the Braves, Red Sox, Mariners and Rays. Casey ended his high school career as Baseball America's top high school prospect of 2001 and the Gatorade National High School Player of the Year.
