The San Francisco Giants selected Rutgers outfielder Trevor Cohen with the 85th overall pick in the 2025 MLB Draft. While Cohen was expected to be a mid-round pick, the Giants selected him notably higher than most expert rankings would have anticipated, making it possible that the two sides have a verbal agreement on a below-slot agreement. The slot for the pick is $935,300.
Cohen was a three-year starter at Rutgers, demonstrating elite contact ability that forms the foundation of his carrying hit tool. Cohen hit .387/.460/.523 with 24 doubles, a triple, two home runs, 19 steals (22 attempts), 30 walks, and 15 strikeouts in 273 plate appearances this spring.
