Royals select Arkansas OF Eric Cole in round four

/ June 5, 2018

With the 122nd pick in the 2018 MLB Draft, the Kansas City Royals selected Arkansas OF Eric Cole.

Eric Cole reminds me a lot of the Kyle Isbel pick from round 3 in that, this is an advanced college bat that ought to move quickly through the Royals system. Cole hit .328/.414/.543 with 13 HR and 12 doubles in 60 games with the Razorbacks this season. Cole is a switch hitter that features more power from the right side of the plate and a better hit tool on the left side of the plate. Probably a corner outfielder, decent speed, really good feel for the strike zone at the plate.
