INF/RHP Cohen Drake (Holden, MO, 2026) is a two-way of note that showed well on both sides of the ball in Monday’s look. Long and lean at 6-foot-1, 165-pounds, Drake ran his fastball up to 87.5 mph, playing clean out of the hand with occasional arm-side run. He also showed the ability to land a 72-73 mph curveball with -14.1” of vertical break that played with depth off of his fastball. Offensively, Drake flashed some power at the plate, posting a 99.1 mph peak exit velocity from a level right-handed swing.

INF/RHP Cohen Drake (Holden, 2026) is an athletic 6-foot-1, 165-pound sophomore that looked the part on both sides of the ball on Sunday. At the plate, Drake swings an aggressive, right-handed barrel that elevated balls pullside with some pop during his round of BP. Still developing power, which should come as he adds strength, Drake produced a peak exit velocity of 93.4 mph in this look. His arm played true across the diamond from a ¾ arm slot, peaking at 85 mph on his loudest throw. Afterwards, Drake hopped on the mound and pitched in the low-to-mid-80s while flashing feel to spin a low-70s breaking ball around the zone.
