A big, strong 6-foot-4, 230-pounder, Cochran offers his highest ceiling on the mound where he moves well for his size with a clean delivery and present velocity up to 84 mph (80–82) alongside a 73–74 mph curveball and a 77 mph slider, both showing developing shape with a chance to miss bats. The arm strength translates to 81 mph across the diamond, though offensively he’s more strength-driven than bat-speed oriented, posting a 94 mph max exit velocity (82.2 avg) without consistent impact beyond his raw strength. A 7.62 runner, Cochran profiles best as a physical right-handed arm with some two-way ability but more long-term intrigue on the mound.
