The Cleveland Guardians have selected catcher Jacob Cozart out of North Carolina State with the No. 48 overall pick of the 2024 MLB Draft. MLB Pipeline had him ranked the No. 42 prospect in the draft.
Here’s what MLB Pipeline had to say about him:
North Carolina State has sent Andrew Knizner and Patrick Bailey to the big leagues in recent years, and Cozart is the next catcher in the Wolfpack pipeline. There are differences of opinion as to whether his offense or defense stands out more, but the consensus is that he’s one of the top catchers in the college class.
