2016 OF/MIF Cole Muckleroy committed to University of Arkansas Monticello this morning. Muckleroy was an integral part of the Star City HS Bulldogs season last spring as they won the 4A State Title. He played centerfield, short stop, and was a catalyst at the top of the lineup. After the summer Muckleroy has been busy attending the Top Prospects Games at Arvest Ballpark, the Unsigned Senior Games and last week end he attended the All-State Games at University of Arkansas Little Rock. Below you will find my evaluation of him.

Cole Muckleroy, MIF/OF, Star City HS
Muckleroy is a 5-foot-11 160-pound, athlete with an athletic frame and build. During the workout he showed the ability to play both infield and outfield. He threw the ball 83 mph from the outfield and 76 mph across the infield. His arm was accurate from both position. On the infield he plays through the ball with a fluid footwork and a quick exchange. He attacks the baseball with fast bat speed producing exit velocity up to 84 mph. He has a short line drive swing and maintains balance through extension. Overall, Muckleroy is a versatile player with solid athleticism, he needs to add strength if he is going to compete at the collegiate level right away.
