3/12/25
Studt made a strong impression on me at the 2025 Central California Preseason All State event where his big, strong frame caught attention, but his foundation of tools solidified my intrigue on his profile. This was my first chance to get an extended look at him in a competitive game environment and the rising ‘26 backstop made another strong impression again with this look. At the dish he took three strong at bats with a consistent approach to attack hittable offerings within the zone, but a solid discipline to stay off pitches outside the zone over those three trips. He was on the barrel with his contact in all three plate appearances, lofting a high fly ball out, lining out right at the 2B and then lining a hard single to LF on a FB away. Studt does show the occasional whiff on pitches within the zone, but not anything that appears to give me any strong concern and with his present bat speed, leverage/loft in path, strength in frame and foundation of approach/rhythm profiles as a potential impact LH bat at the next level. Behind the dish his defensive foundation is sound with strength in his throwing arm popping as low as 2.0 on throws, but with some length in arm/transfer that can be polished to take next steps as a thrower. His receiving is sound with strong wrists, mobility to get low in a one-knee set up and quiet glove movements, but did occasionally have timing issues when working to the pitch causing the ball to pop out of glove. A solid blocker, but has some polish left to be a high level blocker. LHH catchers who project to be solid if not strong defenders at the premium spot are always in demand and Studt is one that college programs should be keeping tabs on if that profile is one a program needs in 2026.

Cole Studt, Highland (CA), 2026
Positional Profile: C/1B LH hitter who shows impact in his offensive profile with strong foundation behind the plate.
Body: 6-2, 207-pounds. Strongly built body with present strength that has room to polish/improve as he matures.
Hit: LHH. Works from a taller set up with minimal knee bend or hip hinge. Feet are slightly closed. Lower back elbow with hands set off the body around ear height with waggle and barrel tipped towards 1B foul territory. Medium leg kick with shift into his back hip and hangs slightly on his backside before working into an aggressive forward move. Stays balanced at launch with good use of his hips in the turn while using his rear shoulder to drive through contact. Hands are direct with an uphill barrel path that helps him to generate leverage/lift. 67.5 mph bat speed with 10 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 96 max exit velocity, averaged 88.5 mph. 325' max distance. Lives in the air with his contact that combined with strong average EV and top end EV plus his physical frame gives him a pull power profile that can play to middle of the field as well.
Arm: RH. C-76 mph. Quick transfer at the chest off his body. Arm path is quick with hand getting up to ear and showing present arm speed. Low carry to his throws that lives around the bag.
Defense: 2.05-2.12 pop times. Strongly built body can handle the C position long term and his foundation of receiving/blocking and throwing show the profile to stay there.
ATH: 7.74 runner in the 60. Drives low before reaching a taller posture with ability to maintain line and stride length.
