Scouting Report: Kaleb Cowart, RHP, Cook County (GA) HS (2010 Draft)
By John Klima

Kaleb Cowart will be a first-round pick from a strong class of right-handed high school starting pitchers. His college commitment is to Florida State. If he were to get there, it would be a huge score for the Seminoles. If not, he’s going to walk onto his new organization’s top-10 prospect list. I like Cowart to go inside the first 12 picks.
Kaleb Cowart, RHP
6-3, 190
Cook County High School, Adel, GA
Games seen: 2, Innings: 4
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Tall and lean,broad shoulders, whippy actions in hands and wrists. Physically projectable.
STRENGTHS: FB 90-93, run and sink vs. RHH, a power sinker. CB 73, SL 87, best second weapon. Cutter 84, liked, could be third pitch in ML. CH at 76. Easy motion with good arm action, extension and easy gas.
WEAKNESSES: CB lacked shape and power. Sometimes opened front side. Correctable, will enhance command and control as pro.
SUMMARY: Should be very solid front-end rotation big league starter, should have more room for power and enough secondary looks to stay in rotation and out of bullpen. A very good draft pick, should be as safe as it gets.

Fastball 50/65
Slider 50/60
Change-up 40/55
