11/08/2024 - Baseball Factory West Coast Fall Select Training & Competition (HS) Cole is a skilled shortstop and second baseman from Freeport, ME, who will graduate in 2027. He recently worked on his game at the Baseball Factory West Coast Fall Training in Arizona, where he further honed his abilities. Defensively, Cole does an excellent job of centering the baseball and keeping his eyes behind the ball, showing solid fundamentals with active feet. He throws from a three-quarter arm slot, though improving his arm strength will help him make more consistent, strong throws across the diamond. At the plate, Cole stands in an open stance and uses a level swing path that allows for consistent contact. He exhibits good plate discipline, as evidenced by reaching base four times on walks during recent games. With three more years of development ahead of him, Cole has a solid foundation and plenty of time to refine his skills and continue to grow as a well-rounded player.
