Scouting Report

(4/5/24)

The fastest 60 time of the Preseason belonged to Cole. The Jr. from Salado ran a 6.55 60 at the San Antonio Preseason ID, showing off his plus speed. Cole also showed a good arm off, topping out at 87 mph, giving him all the necessary tools to play centerfield. Cole also took some work on the dirt and showed his positional versatility. At the plate, he showed off a short, compact swing from the left side. He stayed in the big part of the field and did a good job of trying to work back through the middle. He had a max exit velo of 91.4 mph. Cole is a good athlete, who offers positional versatility and continues to get better each time we see him. We are looking forward to seeing him again this Summer at the Top Prospect Games.
