16. Jackson Cox (284 points, 19 ballots)
Jackson Cox, a second-round pick by the Rockies in 2022, has shown promise with his impressive curveball and developing arsenal. However, injuries, including Tommy John surgery, have limited his playing time, causing him to miss the 2024 season. In 2025, he made a successful return, posting a 3.39 ERA over 85 innings with a strong strikeout rate. Scouts project him as a potential mid-rotation starter, with further development expected as he gains experience.
