'''Don Sutton''' is a starting pitcher for [[California]] on the [[NES]] version of [[RBI]]. His low [[ERA]] might leave you disappointed if you don't realize that a pitcher's ERA in the game has nothing to do with their overall performance. However, you could certainly do a lot worse than the Great White Afro. He's very similar to teammate [[Mike Witt]] in that while neither are overpowering, they feature good curves to both sides of the plate and a decent drop pitch. Most importantly, Sutton and Witt both have energy ratings of 50, which is crucial - you'll want to avoid using California's crummy bullpen at all, if possible.
