Secures roster spot
Cook will begin the season on the major-league roster, Jason Mackey of MLB.com reports.
Analysis
Cook doesn't figure to draw starts often, but he'll serve as the fifth outfielder and should also be an emergency option at first base. Cook has had a solid spring, slugging two homers with seven RBI and seven runs scored in 19 games while reaching base at a .347 clip across 48 plate appearances.

Stat Review
How does Billy Cook compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

2025 Fantasy Outlook
Cook doesn't boast much prospect pedigree and was buried among the multitude of elite hitting prospects in the Orioles' system. That changed when he was dealt to Pittsburgh at the trade deadline, and he made his brief big-league debut in September. The Pirates have yet to add a right fielder this offseason, leaving the position unresolved. Cook figures to fight for that job with Nick Yorke and Joshua Palacios barring an addition. His potential with playing time is intriguing, as he's repeatedly shown the ability to provide power and speed production as he climbed through the minors. His ability to make consistent contact will be key, as his strikeout rate has increased as he faces more advanced pitching. Overall, there are a lot of unknowns for Cook, but he is a decent speculative option in draft and hold formats and a player to keep in mind if he earns a job out of spring training.
