Simon Cockburn  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
Cockburn can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Cockburn also has a decent changeup. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
He's average in terms of controlling the running game. A shaky fielder, he's slow to react to grounders and often looks unsure on his throws to the bases. Cockburn is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Cockburn has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Cockburn as a pinch-runner on occasion.

2025 Outlook
Cockburn has impressed at the A-ball level. Look for the Retired or Inactive Players to give him a shot in Double or Triple A before the year is up. I really like what this kid brings to the table.
