The third baseman was the Cardinals' first-round pick last June and appeared in four games in the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League. St. Louis sent him to the elite Arizona Fall League, where he was named a Rising Star and made a case to begin his first full season at Class A Advanced. A former college pitcher, Cox has a great compact swing with excellent bat speed that he perfected in the Cape Cod League. He makes solid, consistent contact and uses the whole field.
