Most Viewed Profiles (2025): #23 Cole Albert


Alex Armand
Louisiana Scouting Director

As we head into the last couple of weeks of the calendar year, we want to highlight the most viewed profiles of 2025.  Today, we continue our countdown with the #23 spot, which belongs to sophomore Cole Albert of Vermilion Catholic High School.

The former Junior Future Gamer had a sensational freshman campaign last spring, as he led the Eagles to their first baseball state title in school history.

Albert was named the Most Valuable Player of the LHSAA Division IV Select State Tournament and also earned our Newcomer of the Year award for 2025, after posting an 8-1 record and 0.90 ERA with 60 strikeouts across 70.2 innings pitched last season.
