A 6-foot-3, 190-pound outfielder, Cox played his first two college seasons at Butler (Pa.) JC and Eastern Oklahoma State JC, where he hit over .400 with 13 home runs across both seasons. After transferring to Oral Roberts for his 2023 junior season, Cox led the team in hitting and helped push the program to a College World Series appearance. He slashed .412/.470/.646 with 11 home runs, 16 doubles, 28 stolen bases, a 16.7% strikeout rate and 9.5% walk rate and made Baseball America’s All-America third team. Cox has solid pure bat-to-ball skills, but has below-average raw power, with most of his game power going to the pull side. He’s a plus runner who previously played shortstop and has the tools to be a good defender in center field, though his arm strength is a bit light. Cox is the son of Darron Cox, who was a big league catcher in 1999 for the Montreal Expos.
