Fallon redshirted a year at Boston College in 2006, then transferred to USC-Upstate. He played in 2007, sat out 2008, and played in 2009. The results for 2009 were pretty horrific, so I have to wonder whether he was coming back from an injury, but the school’s web site doesn’t specify why he sat out 2008. All I can find is that he suffered an unspecified injury late in the 2007 collegiate season and that he was rated by PGCrosschecker as having the best velocity in the Southern Collegiate League, a summer league, in 2008. The USC-Upstate web site says he throws 94 and has a good slider, and that he pitched a lot better late in the 2009 season, taking over as the team's closer (although he had only one save). He seems to have some pretty severe control problems in any event, although he also fans a lot of hitters and allows very few extra-base hits. Fallon still had a year of eligibility left, but he signed with the Pirates not long after the draft and was assigned to State College. He pitched in short relief there and struggled with his control, walking a batter an inning. He wasn't that hard to hit, either. He's probably going to be a project.
