# 36 overall prospect according to the new Keith Law rankings.
"Going pro may have been the best decision of Cole's life, as he's been more focused and aggressive and is commanding the fastball better than he did in high school. Since his first two starts, he has posted the following line for low-A Hagerstown: 39 1/3 IP, 34 H, 6 BB, 50 K, 2.75 ERA."

Hopefully this kid can be up in Potomac soon and keep moving.

Cole today 5ip, 5h, 2er, 3bb, 2K.

I remember some people were comparing him to Jered Weaver, there minor league stats look similar too.

Anyone know the Nats inning limit on first year starters?

I don't think that's the way they do it, it's pitcher specific.

So where does he rank among our prospects now? Third? Second?

Judging by pictures, Cole needs to go on the eat like a horse diet.

looking forward to seeing him pitch at Potomac.

now if only they would play "Take on me" when he goes to the mound.

BA has him #2 over Goodwin.

He hasn't thrown a single pitch and he's had TJ surgery. He's a complete unknown.

TJ surgery means nothing nowadays.

He really struggled last year, not sure he's as highly regarded as when we traded him.

True, but even with those bad 6 starts at high a to open the year he is still very likely a top 100 prospect
