Uncommitted, ranked No. 86 in the state’s sophomore class. Athletic 5-foot-19, 178-pound frame with strength. Started in right field and batted second. Showed a strong arm in right field during in-and-out, making throws on a line to third base and home. A left-handed hitter, Brent delivered a well-hit ball to centerfield in his second at-bat of the game for a flyout. We’ve seen big tools out of Brent at a showcase this past winter, and he remains a name-to-follow in Illinois.
OF/LHP Cole Brent (Normal University, 2027) has an athletic and lean frame at 5-foot-10, 178-pounds. During his ‘pen, his fastball was up to 89 mph with some arm-side actions at times. He mixed in a curveball with sweeping actions, playing low in the zone at times, and a change-up that played with downer action. Defensively, Brent plays with athletic feet that attack the baseball, utilizing a clean one-hand gather in-stride, while tying for the event lead for outfield velocity at 90 mph. At the plate, the left-handed hitter showed a simple swing with some ease in the operation, repeating and controlling his levers while also showing strong hands and bat-speed (101 mph peak EV; 95 mph avg.). He was able to elevate the ball with ease as well, lifting his furthest ball 368’.
