Alex Cobb

Scouting Profile

Alex Cobb profiles as a balanced mid-rotation arm. His 8 K/9 sits in the contact-oriented end of the spectrum (22nd percentile), backed by a 102 Stuff+ that reads as below-average pure stuff. Command grades at the 65th percentile (2.5 BB/9), above-average control, over a 5.5-inning average workload. Within the SFG rotation he grades as the 2nd arm by strikeout rate.

2026 Strikeout Prop Outlook

For strikeout props the baseline lands near 4.9 Ks, but the daily number moves with the matchup: a lineup that whiffs more than average against right-handers pushes it up, a contact-heavy one pulls it down — the L3 opponent split is the single largest swing. Cold air and a pitcher-friendly park add roughly 0.2–0.6 K; a hitter’s park trims the ERA side. The shorter 5.5-inning workload caps counting-stat upside even on high-whiff days.
