Rest-of-Season Projections
Turns focus to football
Cozens announced Tuesday via his personal Twitter account that he has elected to retire from professional baseball in order to pursue opportunities in the NFL.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old outfielder's decision to step away from baseball comes after he got off to a slow start to the season at Triple-A Nashville in the Brewers organization, batting just .177 with a 43 percent strikeout rate in 100 plate appearances. Cozens has posted some gaudy home-run totals during his time in the minors since being selected by the Phillies in the second round of the 2012 first-year player draft, but an inability to make consistent contact prevented him from having much staying power in the big leagues -- he appeared in only 27 games with Philadelphia between 2018 and 2019. An excellent athlete who checks in at 6-foot-6 and 245 pounds, Cozens boasts the sort of physical profile that could translate well to football.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2020
2019
2017
2014
Cozens saw his 2019 season limited by a foot injury, and he was only able to appear in 24 total games as a result. He briefly emerged in the big leagues for the Phillies in late-April, failing to come up with a base knock in his lone major-league at-bat. During his time with Triple-A Lehigh Valley, he struggled to a .167 batting average, though he showed some pop by registering six homers and 15 RBI over just 23 contests. The 25-year-old outfielder is best known for his power, popping 27 and 21 homers during the 2017 and 2018 campaigns, respectively. However, strikeouts continue to pose an issue for Cozens, as shown by 42 punchouts in just 78 at-bats during his time with the Iron Pigs in 2019. He agreed to a minor-league contract with Tampa Bay in mid-August and appears on track to begin the 2020 season at Triple-A Durham with the possibility of joining the majors during the year as a bat off the bench.
