08/15/2024 - All-Ripken Games - Tennessee, TN Kole demonstrated a strong array of skills at the All-Ripken games in Pigeon Forge. Defensively, he exhibited athleticism, impressive instincts, and a strong, accurate arm. His footwork was notably smooth, and he adeptly read hops. On the mound, Kole’s fastball ranged from 60-62 mph with late movement, complemented by a curveball (slurve) from a low ¾ arm slot. After adjusting his control, he highlighted his potential by striking out the side. To further enhance his pitching, he should focus on maintaining a closed position to the batter while working down the mound. At the plate, Kole made a significant impact with multiple hits. His ability to load and track the ball was evident, though adopting a more aggressive approach could potentially elevate his offensive production.
