Uncommitted Senior Spotlight: RHP/OF Cole Honick
September 27, 2023
As we wrap up the summer of 2023, we now continue our coverage of the talent we've seen so far this year in Colorado with 'Uncommitted Spotlights' of the top prospects still on the board in the senior class. While there's already over 30 prospects in the class committed to programs already, there remains a slew of high-end talent still available.
These spotlights help paint a picture of the prospect with the help of our TrackMan, Blast Motion, Swift Performance and Vizual Edge systems, that provides objective data that teams use to identify and break down players they believe will fit into their system.
Today, we continue our Top Uncommitted Senior Spotlights with a look at 2024 RHP/OF Cole Honick of Rocky Mountain HS. Honick comes with exceptional spin rates already near 3,000 RPMs on his off-speed, along with a fastball in the mid 80s. The athletic and strong frame on Honick projects for a higher ceiling to go with his elite off-speed.
