Official Scouting Report

  • Class Rating
  • SSPosition Projection

08/06/2023 - National Showcase - Seattle, WA Kole has shown noticeable improvements since his first evaluation with us nearly 4 years ago. His athletic indicators and tool grades for defense and hitting and have jumped in such a way that he has turned himself into a very good prospect. He will be one to watch these next few years as he progresses through high school.

09/22/2019 - Accelerated Interactive Video Program - Lynnwood (Seattle), WA Kole is a scrappy SS/RHP prospect who will graduate in 2024. In the field, Kole shows fluid footwork and fields the ball out in front of his body. He throws from a high 3/4 angle and works to keep his throws accurate to his target. At the plate, this RHH sets up in a square stance and takes a short stride. He leads well with his lower half and makes solid contact. On the mound, Kole shows a two pitch mix with his fastball topping out at 48mph with tailing action. Changeup sits from 40-46mph with arm side run as he throws with deceptive arm speed. Overall abilities can improve with work on the following. 

Infield
1. Lateral range
2. More athletic fielding position
3. Quicker exchange
Hitting
1. Smoother load
2. Center balance
3. Compact swing path
Pitching
1. Balance point
2. Looser arm action
3. Square stride

Tool Grade Scale

Our main goals with the BF "10-70" Scouting Scale are to provide the player with a realistic evaluation of his "PRESENT" abilities (what he can do today), and to provide college coaches with information they can use to identify and/or compare potential recruits.

Tools are graded for all players and pitchers, regardless of age or graduation year. However, for High School players we use only grades 20-70 (grades 10-18 do not apply), while for Middle School players we use only grades 10-52 (grades 55-70 do not apply).
