Double-A

Trey Cochran-Gill

Trey Cochran-Gill was taken by the Seattle Mariners in the 17^th round of the 2014 MLB Draft after a successful campaign with Auburn baseball. After a couple of very good seasons in rookie ball and the Mariners Low-A affiliate, Cochran-Gill worked his way all the way up to Triple-A in 2015. However, the move may have been bit premature as he started 2016 back at Double-A where he has a 4.20 ERA in 40.2 innings with 36 strikeouts. Bullpen arms are always needed, so if Cochran-Gill can get back on track he could find his way to the big leagues soon.

Garrett Cooper

Garrett Cooper was taken by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 6^th round of the 2013 MLB Draft. He has gone on to hit at every level he’s played in, making it all the way up to Double-A in 2015. That’s where he currently remains in Biloxi, Miss. playing for the Shuckers. Cooper is batting a solid .318 and has a .378 on-base-percentage with 20 runs, 2 home runs and 38 RBIs. Playing in a Brewers organization that is in the middle of a rebuild, Cooper could get his cup of coffee fairly soon as well.
