I have talked to scouts who think Cozart is a non-prospect, killing his bat and his defense, while the Guardians seem to view him as a potential everyday catcher. I am King Solomon, coming down right in the middle, albeit I will not be splitting anyone in two: I think Cozart's a solid backup catcher who can defend and will get to enough power to be a long-term big leaguer who can catch 40 games a year and help a team. He's a 55 defender across the board, with a swing that might explain some of the offensive inconsistency, and he could still hit enough to be a regular in a best-case scenario, although off a year where he didn't hit well in High A or Double A as an ACC product, that seems much less likely.
