Super 60 Spotlight: Ron Cole

PBR Mid-Atlantic ProCase (October 28th, 2018)
6-foot-2, 185-pound Kentucky commit stood out from a group of 18 quality pitchers on the day. The righty sat 90-92 out of a 3/4 arm slot. Delivery is up tempo with a loose, quick arm action that produces heavy sink and arm-side run on his fastball. Curveball at 80-82 has late sweeping action and should transition into a quality slider in the future. Changeup is thrown at fastball arm speed with same sinking action as his fastball. Will break lots of wood bats in his future while producing plenty of ground ball outs.
