Georgia Tech Commit. This was by far the best offensive performance I have seen in a tournament since working for PBR, and there have been some great ones. He may not be the biggest, fastest, or the strongest, but Cole has the #1 most important tool needed to have a long career in America’s Pastime. It’s the hit tool, and it determines a player’s long term value more than anything else in the game. This truly may be the most complete bat in the Peach State regardless of class, and it's due to a combination of rare intangibles and incredibly consistent swing mechanics. His unreal pitch recognition due to 20/20 vision puts him in FB counts more than 99% of HS hitters I’ve seen. This is as disciplined a hitter as they come that doesn’t chase pitches, forcing pitchers to challenge him on a regular basis. When he is challenged, the perfect timing of release points, beautiful swing path, and ability to match plane allow him to capitalize off every FB he gets in the zone. The most effective strategy against Cole is to just walk him, which will lead to OBP’s you never see. This is the most connected swing I’ve seen in a very long time, allowing the hands to do almost no work in the path. The only task Cole’s hands have is to slowly angle the barrel into a perfect launch position by foot strike, and turn the top hand palm late in the path up to set his launch angle and create backspin. Everything in between it is controlled by the shoulders & core due to his perfectly precise shrink/tuck of the back elbow. This stabilizes his bat path perfectly so all he has to do is match the plane of his shoulders with the trajectory of the pitch. Due to his incredibly accurate intangibles and precise+adjustable swing, he’s able to create big power with little to no effort. He’s also an instinctive defender in CF with elite baseball IQ overall. He runs well underway, and has a strong+accurate arm that makes a big impact on the grass & hill. This is one of the safest bets to be an everyday MLB bat I’ve seen in quite some time, and I feel he will hit equally for average and power production.
