Scouting Report: 3/4 arm slot. Live bullpen arm with a good 89-92 mph fastball with nice late movement, a solid 78-82 mph slider, and a 79-80 mph changeup that is a rarely used work in progress. Cox's slider, while outstanding at times, can disappear for periods leaving him without an effective out pitch. Induces a lot of groundballs. Inconsistent command, particularly of his secondary pitches. He's also previously had major struggles with control, including a case of the yips in which he totally lost the strike zone in college. However, he was able to overcome those issues late in 2006 and ultimately dominated the College World Series. Cox has stated that he is more comfortable as a middle reliever than as a closer.
