7/36/17 5-foot-10 180-pound left-handed hitter initiates swing from slightly open setup utilizing a short controlled stride while staying open. Loads with hands and upper body creating substantial arm bar. There is length to swing. Kosbie has excellent feel for barrel and considerable looseness in his hands. Hands and hips are quick. He would benefit from driving elbow up and back in load with subsequent direct back elbow connection to trunk and bat to outside of shoulder.

Defensively, hands and feet are adequate. Throwing motion is long for middle infielder. Would benefit from being more aggressive in attacking and playing through the baseball. Recorded 79 mph arm strength across the diamond and ran 7.21 60-yard dash.
