LSU Commit. 6-foot, 175 pounds. When you’re this comfortable with the ceiling on a players hit tool and they’re only a freshman, that’s a sign you’re evaluating a special bat. Why are we so comfortable? We can start with the fact that I’ve now seen Bubba light up 3 D1 arms this spring in 3 games. The hip timing, body control, insanely efficient forward move, we could go all day. When a hitter's swing mechanics are repeated at a high level with no holes to be found, he can start developing the hitting eye and decision making. With Bubba always having a picture perfect swing path, he’s been able to develop rare hitting traits that few hitters his age possess. The reason this Wolves team is so exciting, is that you’ve got 3 underclassmen who almost no one can run a FB by. So with Bubba, it's easy for him to adjust to secondary pitches because he doesn’t have to worry about getting beat by FB’s. The reaction time and swing path are so good, that he’s afforded a longer time to make a swing decision. He was in a select few group of the cleanest barrels in the tourney.

LSU Commit. 6-foot, 175 pounds. It couldn’t have been a more impressive look from our No. 3 player in the ‘26 class. Facing one of the better arms and likely best CH in the class above him, he was timed up on almost every single pitch. While the arm he faced (Glenn) got a K and multiple S&M’s on nearly every hitter in the lineup, he didn’t strike out Bubba. It’s wild to see a freshman in HS so difficult to K, and it speaks to his elite bat 2 ball skills for his age. The combination of simplicity and explosiveness in the swing are one of my favorite things about him as a hitter. The optimal width in his base and high level hip hinge allow him to create perfect hip pace out of the hole, and the rest of his swing develops off that pace flawlessly. The trigger & load are exactly how I would teach a hitter to create ideal linear connection and tension (of separation) in the forward move. The chest+shoulders load the hands for him and the hands stay close to the body, right off the eventual hitting slot. This allows him to get out of launch position easily. As his front hip clears just before foot strike, his hips and shoulders match pitch trajectory on an incline plane - creating a clean path for easy barrels before he even throws his hands. Then you add in the rare intangibles & physical traits and you’ve got a guy who is a walking barrel vs stuff that most FR couldn’t touch.

Bubba Coleman (Liberty, 2026)

 

Above average build for age. Strength in hands with raw athleticism. Still room to fill out. 7.4 runner in the 60. (Hitting) Max EV 94.4. Max Dist. 349 feet. Athletic and loose in set up. Base is just outside of shoulder width, with a slight bend in the knees. Bat speed and strength is far above average for his class. Direct stride with a slight cock of the hands during load. High upside with the bat with loose swing mechanics. Could add some more usage of the lower half to help drive balls and gain direction. (IF) 76 mph IF velo. Above average IF play for class. Quick first step and explosive to baseball when needed. Has some give with the glove into the body. Throws well on the move, can change slots. Arm strength will play from the left side. Small amount of extra movement with the glove prior to fielding.
