Cochran-Gill was acquired in December 2015 from Seattle for righthanded reliever Evan Scriber during then-new Mariners GM Jerry Dipoto's trade frenzy. The 5-foot-10 righthander had a solid season at Double-A and impressed in the Arizona Fall League. Cochran-Gill, a three-year reliever at Auburn, is an athletic sinker-slider reliever with a 92-94 mph fastball and slider that flashes plus, when right. He showed much-improved command in 2016, cutting his walk rate nearly in half. Cochran-Gill generates 2.3 ground balls to every fly ball and had not allowed a home run as a pro until this season, when he gave up six. If he reaches the majors, Cochran-Gill would be the first Tallassee High (Ala.) graduate to do so. -
The Mariners' search for inexpensive college pitchers who could step in and contribute paid off with a number of intriguing arms who were better in their pro debuts than they were during their amateur careers. Lefty Ryan Yarbrough stood out the most, as his stuff jumped up a full grade, but Cochran-Gill, a three-year reliever at Auburn, also impressed with a pair of pitches that allow him to profile as a potential big league reliever. He dominated at Rookie-level Pulaski and short-season Everett with a 92-94 mph fastball that showed outstanding sink as well as a plus slider. Cochran-Gill has a compact delivery that makes it relatively easy for him to fill the zone. Unlike Yarbrough, Cochran-Gill's stuff did not improve as a pro, but his results did. He can move quickly as a two-pitch reliever with the ability to generate groundballs.
