Scouting Report

• Tim Cox has excellent control. Changes speed well. Pitched for Australian U-18, U-16, and U-14 teams. Missed 18 months with a torn elbow ligament. Fierce competitor. ~ SoxProspects.com

• "The knock on Cox is that he has a below-average fastball. He has a good breaking ball, and it's easy to fool hitters in low Class A with a good breaker. Adding some more velocity would help his cause. I wouldn't tag him as a setup man yet, but he has some potential." - Jim Callis
