Uncommitted 2026 Spotlight: 1B Cole Spanier


Prep Baseball Alabama Staff

As fall settles in and a new school year is underway, our attention remains on uncommitted prospects in the Classes of 2026 and 2027. With these athletes entering their final years of high school, plenty of talented upperclassmen are still available—some overlooked, others quietly flying under the radar—each seeking the right opportunity to compete at the next level.

Through our Uncommitted Spotlight series, we’ll continue highlighting one of these prospects every Tuesday and Thursday. Be sure to check out the Uncommitted Spotlight page under the "Players" tab in the menu to catch up on previous features as we move through the fall season.
