Jacob Cozart
Hitting scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Profile lines up as a defense-first, left-handed hitting catcher with a realistic outcome as a second-division regular or strong backup. If the bat gets to fringe-average with 10–15 home runs and he maintains above-average receiving and game-calling, he could catch a lot of games for a competitive club. More modest offensive gains or defensive stagnation would still leave value as a trusted number two who handles staff duties and provides occasional pop. Given his age, track record, and makeup, he has a good chance to reach the majors, but the probability of becoming a clear everyday catcher is more moderate than his draft slot alone might suggest.
