6-foot-4, 188-pound LHP instantly became one of the top arms in the 2018 class and committed to Kentucky following the event. Long and lanky with tremendous upside, Cottongame worked quickly and showed a quick arm through a high-3/4 slot, fastball showed occasional arm-side life. He also mixed in a curveball with sharp 1/7 action. In game action Cottongame struck out two batters (both on FB) in a perfect inning of work.
As a position player, hits from a balanced stance and uses an inward turn of the knee and slight hand load, shows some quickness in hands that generate good bat speed, loose swing with line drive contact and occasional gap power, registered one of the top exit velocities of the event, went 0-for-3 in game play showing more of an opposite field approach. Athletic defender moves well in the outfield with good footwork at first base, good arm strength with accurate throws and carry. Cottongame committed to Kentucky as a pitcher following the event.
