Overview
- The Rule 5 Draft is set for Dec. 10 at 2 p.m. ET.
- Cohen is not on the Yankees' 40-man roster, which makes him eligible to be taken.
- He has produced back-to-back sub-2 ERAs, finishing 2025 with a 1.76 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 59 strikeouts in 51 innings between Double-A and Triple-A.
- Analysts highlight a low arm slot with a tight mid-80s cutter, a fading mid-80s changeup and a 92–94 mph four-seamer that offers deception but can affect control.
- Any selecting club must keep Cohen on its active roster or injured list all season or return him to New York.
