Already an intriguing prospect with a plus fastball entering 2024, Christopher Cortez only improved his draft stock after going 10-3 with a 2.78 ERA and ridiculous 102 strikeouts in 64.2 innings this season, coming out of the bullpen as a bulk innings guy for the Aggies. He showcased his talent on a national stage in the College World Series, throwing 4+ shutout innings against Tennessee. He can touch triple digits and also compliments the fastball with a nasty slider. When hitters do make contact, it’s usually soft. Cortez has significant control issues prior to this season but showed dramatic improvement. Assuming those issues don’t return, he could become a regular starter in the pros. His skillset projects to be at a minimum a reliable reliever, but either way, his pure talent and experience should get him an opportunity to rise through the minors and see what he can do against advanced professional hitters.
