Organization Prospect Rankings
-
Coco signed as an outfielder, but the organization quickly recognized his arm strength (and inability to hit) and moved him to the mound. In 2000, his first year above Class A, he was added to the 40-man roster and made an emergency start in the big leagues. Coco has one of the best arms in the system. He has a fastball that touches 95 mph, though he usually throws it in the 90-92 range. His top pitch is his changeup, the best in the organization. He's quick to the plate and holds runners well. He has added an inch and 25 pounds to his frame since signing, helping him maintain his velocity deeper into games. Coco's breaking ball for now is a sloppy slurve that's just adequate. He'll need to refine the pitch to handle righthanders more effectively. They hit .263 against him in 2000, while lefthanders batted just .212. Coco has gained experience pitching with Escogido in the Dominican League the last two winters. That will serve him well in Triple-A in 2001.
Minor League Top Prospects
-
Wheeler, Coco's manager, called him the best righthander in the league. That's a stretch, considering the presence of Ben Sheets, Jon Rauch, Matt Ginter and Adam Eaton. But it's not much of a stretch, considering his arm. Coco throws in the low 90s and works his fastball on both sides of the plate. He also has an effective slider and changeup.
