Showcase Spotlight: 2024 RHP/SS Connor Cobb

10/25/20
The 6-foot, 150-pound freshman two-way prospect had an up and down return to his hometown of Bowling Green, KY; however, he looks to be one of the early premier players in the 2024 class. Lanky, wiry frame with great projection and contributor on both sides.  On the mound, FB worked 77-83, T84 with great spin (T 2301 rpm) from a low 3/4 slot making for uncomfortable at bats for RHH.  Pounded the string, staying down in the zone. Paired with 62-64 mph 11/5 CB, generating the 2nd best spin rate at 2488 rpm.  Positionally, logged a 7.32 sixty time with solid hands and good athleticism up the middle. At the dish, tall, relaxed stance while generating good bat speed (T 74.1 mph via Blast) and solid rotational numbers. Flashes of being a skilled offensive player, but some inconsistency due to lack of strength in frame, which should improve over the off-season.
