Cochran

11/3/13 - The strong-framed 6-foot, 200-pound Cochran was the most physically impressive player in the camp.  In the outfield workouts he threw with a short arm action and ¾ slot with some accuracy when he didn’t rush his throws.  His throwing velocity was 81 mph.  At the plate, the right-handed hitter has a slightly closed set-up, simple load and short stride.  He has an explosive lower half and good balance overall.  His exit velocity was timed at 88 mph, one of the best marks in the camp.  Cochran showed a mostly gap-to-gap approach with the ability to flatten balls out into right-center at times.  He ran a 7.35 60-yard dash.

------------
The strong bodied 6-foot, 200-pound Cochran impressed with his defensive actions and power potential at the plate.  Cochran showed good instincts in the outfield, moves athletically through the baseball, and was accurate with all his throws (77 mph) that had some carry. At the plate, Cochran has an open stance and maintained excellent balance through contact.  He has a very quiet approach at the plate, displaying loose hands and a quick bat through the zone that produced line drives with back spin carry.  Additionally, Cochran ran a 7.38 60 and had a top exit velo of 88 mph off the bat. Cochran has the potential to be one of the top power hitters in the Class of 2014 as he continues to progress.
