Cole
Koeninger

Cole is a top two-way prospect who must be scouted both as a shortstop and a right-handed pitcher. He has a strong build with plenty of room to add strength in the future, coupled with a 6.61 60-yard dash time. His agility and body control on the field stand out, and he has the potential to stay at shortstop. His raw arm strength is impressive, and he shows the ability to impact the baseball.

On the mound, his fastball reached 94 mph during this outing, and he has shown improved velocity this season. His fastball is a plus pitch with projection for even more. His curveball has solid action, clocking in at 80 mph with a spin rate over 2200 rpm. He also mixes in a slider at 82 mph with a spin rate above 2400 rpm. Koeninger is a solid strike thrower and has a great makeup. He competes well and has shown the ability to handle big moments. Right now, he profiles as a hitter/infielder over pitcher. The 2 time Prep Baseball All American continues to show why he is one of the top players in the country.
