Rishay Cocker
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Cocker also has a decent changeup. If you're going in to face Cocker, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting His pickoff move is merely average. He hurts himself by falling awkwardly off the mound in his follow-through, which allows too many balls to go through the middle for base hits. Cocker is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Cocker has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Cocker as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook If Cocker doesn't perform, the Retired or Inactive Players won't hesitate to send him down to the minors. I just don't know if The Retired or Inactive Players are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
