We highlighted Emilee Cosgrove Emilee Cosgrove RHP/1B Casa Roble | 2030 CA in our piece on 2030s who could be future No. 1 prospects in their class, but she is worth another mention after her great start to the fall. At a PGF tournament over the first weekend of October, Cosgrove allowed just two earned runs in 13 innings, striking out 15 and throwing first-pitch strikes to more than 70 percent of the batters she faced. In September at another PGF event, she batted .385 with two doubles and three runs driven in while pitching to a 1.75 ERA. Cosgrove’s screwball is an especially strong weapon for her, as is a changeup that is simply filthy when it’s on. She also has good swing mechanics, working to time up pitchers without trying to do too much. That doesn’t mean she can’t hit home runs—Cosgrove has easy-looking power and a smooth swing that can drive the ball over the fence.

Emilee Cosgrove was a force to be reckoned with at PGF Nationals over the summer, with excellent command on both her arm side and glove side. She can locate her fastball on the lower corners of the strike zone, leaving batters frozen, while her off-speed pitches will fall off the table and get hitters to swing way out in front. Cosgrove is just as prolific at the plate as both a contact and power hitter, with good swing mechanics. She is from California’s Central Valley, near Sacramento, a region that perennially produces highly-ranked prospects. Cosgrove was great on both sides of the ball at the Colorado Sparkler, her first time at the prestigious event, striking out 37 batters in 47 innings, while batting .488 with six doubles, two triples, one home run and 12 runs batted in.
