Personal Statement
I am a 2023 grad who plays baseball, basketball, and runs track. For as long as I can remember, baseball has been my passion. I realized that playing college baseball is something that I really want to do. I take the classroom very seriously, always staying on top of my grades. I will continue to progress as a student-athlete as I pursue playing baseball at the next level.

- Scouting Report – Baseball Factory February 13, 2022 Monticello, Iowa
- * Kole is a RHP/3B who will graduate in 2023. Tall frame athletic build, with broad shoulders, and strength present. At 3B, starts with fluid footwork and has good body control at the baseball. Works from right to left and fields from an athletic fielding position with hands out front. Has a loose arm and throws from an over-the-top arm slot with an arm velocity up to 79mph across the diamond. Made accurate throws, with a quick release, and ball has good carry. On the mound, he gathers over the rubber, with a good balance position, and separates his hands on time. He works with good tempo and keeps his eyes on target throughout delivery. He throws a FB that sits 76-78mph with plus command, an 11/5 shaped breaking ball with depth through strike zone, and a changeup with slight sink that he throws with FB arm speed. At the plate, he hits from a tall and athletic stance. Lower half driven swing, with knob to C, and hits into a firm front side. He stays stacked and has a fast barrel through the hitting zone. He gets on-plane early, with a high finish, as he hit hard line drives to all fields with a bat exit velocity up to 87mph. With another year of growth and development, we see this 2-way prospect having a bright future on the baseball field.
