Biographical Information

Pitcher Austin Cox made his major league debut with the Kansas City Royals early in the 2023 season. He worked as a reliever and occasional starter. On September 8th, during a relief appearance against the Toronto Blue Jays, he injured his knee as his feet got tangled up while he was trying to get to the first base bag to receive a throw from 1B Salvador Perez. The runner was safe and he fell to the ground in obvious pain while he had to be removed from the game. He was placed on the 60-day injured list the next day, his season over. He finished at 0-1, 4.79, with 29 hits and 17 walks allowed in 35 2/3 innings, with 33 strikeouts.
