Eli McFadden
Central Missouri-Pitching Coach
​
"Cole has been through it at the highest levels, understands how to develop pitchers the right way, and knows how to use analytics without overcomplicating things. I trust Cole to develop players and to honestly evaluate them for every level. More than that, he cares about his guys and prepares them to compete. If you're working with Cole at Pride Baseball, you're in good hands."
Matt Price
MLB Scout - Royals
“Cole is a tireless worker, very smart, and loves baseball. He cares about the process, which a lot of us scouts noticed immediately when he was in high school. He understands analytics/metrics but he knows players must go off feel/cues to make adjustments, execute pitches and ultimately compete vs hitters in the box. He was such a tough competitor; and still is!”
Chris Rodriguez
MLB Player
“Cole was one of my first teammates I had in pro ball, from the beginning, his knowledge of the game was advanced. He was known in pro ball as a hard worker, knowledgeable, competitive and a great teammate/ friend. With as much experience he has now with all the years of pro ball he has played, he has a great understanding of the “throw” and knows how to get the most out of amateur and pro arms. If I have any questions on how to maximize my delivery, I love bouncing ideas off Cole."
Ethan Westphal
