GARRET COOK - MO

Garret Cook, hailing from the "Show Me State," proved he had what it takes to secure a spot on "Team 33." With his size, strength, athleticism, and versatility, he makes a big impact on the mound, at first base, and the plate. However, what truly sets Garret apart is his polite, professional demeanor at such a young age. As a Missouri Western State University commit, there's no doubt he'll be a valuable leader both on and off the field.
