Cook is an exceptional athlete with some of the better supplementary tools in the entire draft class and outstanding questions about the quality of his offensive profile. Standing at 6'3, 185 pounds, Cook is a wiry athlete with double plus speed. He's an absolute burner. This gives him outstanding range in the outfield, which is paired with a strong arm that should allow him to stick in center field for the foreseeable future.

Offensively, bat-to-ball skills are the major headline here. A slap hitter, Cook has excellent contact ability, with a ridiculous 6.3 K% in 2025. There's little extra base impact to speak of. If Cook hits enough, the speed, defense, and bat-to-ball ability will give him a chance for a solid pro career. Cook hit .350/.436/.468 (.905) in 60 games for Southern Miss in 2025.
