Draft Prospects
-
Cohen is an intriguing prospect as both a pitcher and a shortstop. He worked at 87-88 mph at the Southern California Invitational in February, then worked at 90-91 and touched 93 in a relief role for Agoura early this spring. One scout described his mid-70s breaking ball as "a curveball from hell" that flashes plus, and he has shown feel for a changeup but seldom uses it against high school hitters. Cohen's two-way duties took a toll during the spring, and his velocity fell off down the stretch, but scouts who like him say he has a chance to develop three plus pitches. Other scouts prefer him as a position player, citing his steady actions and outstanding arm at shortstop. There is a wide range of opinion on where Cohen fits in the draft, with some calling him a potential fifth-rounder and others seeing him around the 10th round or later. He could wind up playing both ways at Loyola Marymount, giving scouts more time to determine which role suits him best.
