Cole gives up 6 ERs in 6.1 IPS with 1K.
Bummer, because its the type of start that makes it far less likely for Rendon to drop to us..
2.76 ERA
9.59 K/9
1.51 BB/9
0.76 HR/9
Cole does not rank in the top 50 in ANY category in Division 1.
You have to wonder if Cole is a wise choice at #2. He may have great stuff, but the performance has really not been that impressive considering the new bats. The college SP that became stars at the MLB-level nearly ALL run 13+ K/9s in their walk years. Cole is under 10 with the new bats.
College SP has the by far worst WAR payoff than any other type of prospect. Hitters (College+highschool) are far more reliable, and even highscool SP has a higher turnout.
