Preston Cole is a 2027 SS/RHP with a 6-0 158 lb. frame from St. Augustine, FL who attends St. John's Country Day. Slender athletic build with some wiry strength. Ran a 7.16 in the sixty yard dash. Primary shortstop, aggressive charge to the ball, controlled break down with a smooth transfer, throws across were firm with carry behind them at 81 mph, good fundamental infield actions. Also pitched, stretch only delivery with a clean and quick arm stroke, lean and mobile mechanics landing in line and on time, high arm slot creates ride on the fastball up to 84 mph, 12-6 curveball tunnels well with the fastball and shows late bite with high spin rates, also has feel to spin a sweeping slider in the mid 70's, legit feel to spin two distinct breaking balls, misses bats with all offerings, high upside on the mound. Right handed hitter, narrow base with an upright stance, high hand set with a later hand load, present bat speed that will only improve with added strength, worked gap to gap in batting practice. Good student.
