ALLENTOWN – Dylan Cozens is in the same place he was a year ago and still, he is in a far better place.
In a perfect world, the 23-year-old slugger would have moved in unison to the major leagues with fellow bash brother Rhys Hoskins last season. Instead, Cozens struggled mightily in his first year at triple-A Lehigh Valley while Hoskins continued to soar all the way to Philadelphia.
Forced to return to the land of the IronPigs, Cozens faced the test that so many minor leaguers – and major leaguers, for that matter – must conquer.
