| Blessed with a lightning quick arm, Cole has the perfect pitcher’s proportions making him one of the most exciting pitching prospects to watch through next spring. His fastball has touched the upper 90s in the past, and easily sits in the low-90s. His heater is especially tough to hit in that it shows very good, natural late life, and his potentially nasty yet currently inconsistent slider gives him a powerful arsenal that should also induce a lot of weak contact on the infield. While he is a very good athlete with a smooth windup and overall delivery, there is some effort to his arm action, as he would do his long-range career a favor by shoring up his mechanics. He has committed to play for UCLA, and could easily be taken among the top three to five picks next June. |
