Top Rankings

Organization Prospect Rankings

BA Grade/Risk: 40/High

Track Record: Cosgrove led the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference in strikeouts as a junior at Manhattan and was drafted in the 12th round by the Padres. He was infamously arrested alongside Jacob Nix in the fall of 2019 in a home break-in near the Padres' spring training complex while he was rehabbing from Tommy John surgery but was never charged. Cosgrove moved to the bullpen after returning from surgery and thrived after a mechanical change in 2022, rising to Triple-A and earning a spot on the Padres 40-man roster after the season.

Scouting Report: A 6-foot-2 lefthander, Cosgrove's stuff was largely vanilla until he dropped his arm slot to three quarters at the suggestion of new Padres pitching development director Rob Marcello in 2022. The change added angle to his 92-95 mph fastball to make it an average pitch and altered his breaking ball from a 12-to-6, hammer curve to a sweeping, 79-82 mph slider. The changes made him particularly tough on lefties, who he held to a .136/.240/.273 line in 2022. Cosgrove also has a seldom-used changeup that is not a major part of his arsenal. He has fringy control but puts the ball over the plate enough to be effective.

The Future: Cosgrove will compete for an Opening Day bullpen spot in spring training. He projects to be a low-leverage reliever who handles lefties.

Scouting Grades: Fastball: 50. Slider: 55. Changeup: 30. Control: 45
