Kokoska

2/5/17 PBR Super 60 Pro Showcase Participant

One of the few two-way prospects in attendance, Kokoska began his day with a bang registering the third fastest 60-yard dash of all players in attendance at 6.59. The 6-foot-2, 195-pound left-handed hitter recorded a 95 mph bat exit velocity and showed the ability to impart consistent backspin during a solid round of batting practice. The left-handed thrower finished his positional workout by showcasing 90 mph arm strength from the outfield with solid carry.

Kokoska completed a long day by sitting 86-89 on the mound out of a 3/4 arm slot. The lefty start with a side-rocker step and displayed good tempo to his delivery. He also showcased a curveball at 71-72 and a changeup that sat 78-81. While he is likely a position player first at the next level, he shows projection on the mound and will likely have opportunities to do both at the college level.

8/1/15 Kokoska turned in one of the more impressive evaluation days of any member of Team Pennsylvania at the PBR Future Games. The 6-foot-1, 185-pound left-handed hitter registered a 96 mph bat exit velocity, showcased an 89 mph arm from the outfield and ran a 6.67 60-yard dash. Kokoska went 1-for-7 with a sacrifice fly and an RBI in game action and worked three scoreless innings on the mound. The lefty topped at 84 mph while consistently missing barrels with a cut fastball, curveball, slider mix. Kokoska struck out three and allowed just one hit during his time on the mound.

6/30/15 6-foot-1, 185-pound two-way prospect sat 83-85 while topping at 87 mph multiple times from a 3/4 arm slot with hard cut to his fastball. Displayed an up-tempo athletic delivery with a quick arm (91 mph from the outfield). 77 mph slider showed tight, late break although command was an issue at times. Kokoska also showcased an 80 mph changeup at near fastball arm speed. Projectable frame and above average athleticism projects for additional velocity gains moving forward.
