Drafted in the 8th round (247th overall) by the New York Mets in 2017 (signed for $20,000).
View Draft Report
Sporting a mustache that wouldn't look out of place on Wyatt Earp, Cobb finished off an excellent four-year career as a Cowboy by going back to the bullpen. After stepping to a rotation spot in 2016 as a junior, Cobb moved back to his best role this year, as the senior once again worked as a very effective sinker-slider reliever. Cobb's low-90s sinker and average slider play well because he is able to locate them, even though his stab in his delivery is normally indicative of a pitcher who struggles to repeat. Cobb turned the Cubs down as a 12th-round pick last year. This year he'll be a bargain as a senior sign.

Cobb's sinker/slider combo, size (he's 6-foot-1) and attacking approach make it likely that he'll end up as a reliever in pro ball, especially as he has a long arm action with some funk. A reliever for most of his collegiate career, Cobb moved to the rotation during his junior seaoson. His low-90s fastball has heavy sink and he commands it. His slider flashes above-average at times as well. His changeup is pretty rudimentary, which adds to the thoughts that he'll be a pro reliever.
