Brayden Cockcroft: LHP/1B, (2023) out of LaSalle, RI. is a 6-foot-1, 160-pound two-way prospect. In the box, Cockcroft had a max exit velocity of 83 MPH. Cockcroft hits out of an athletic, balanced stance, using a controlled stride to get into a strong launch position. The swing takes a simple, direct path to and through the hitting zone. He remains balanced throughout and finishes through contact. In the infield, Cockcroft was 74 MPH across the diamond. As he worked through the ground balls he showed sure hands, smooth footwork, a clean exchange and used a high ¾ arm slot. He moves well laterally and finishes through the play. He also recorded a time of 7.8 in the 60-yard dash. On the mound, Cockcroft uses a long, over-the-top arm slot that produces a fastball (78-79 MPH) with arm-side tilt. The delivery is clean and allows him to be balanced and create good direction with home plate. His curveball (58-60 MPH) showed good sweeping action and the changeup (70-71 MPH) had late sinking action.

6-foot-1, 160, longer, lean athletic frame, sloped shoulders with room for added weight gains, showing strength throughout. A left-handed pitcher, arm slot is high 3/4, creating natural 2-seam bite to it, clocked at 77 mph, a heavy ball when arriving at the plate. Mixed in a bigger top to bottom breaker, reaching 62 mph. Showed feel for a changeup at 70-71 mph. The delivery has some lean and pull to it, could track a tick longer to plate, lengthening stride will allow things to be more on time . Strong on the back half pitches down hill, build momentum down the mound. Only a 2023 look for a jump at some point.
