Cole O’Connell (‘26, CT) RHP • 6’3” 190lb
FB: 84–87 mph | 2000+ rpm | 11” IVB | 2” HB
SPL: 78 mph | 600 rpm | -2” IVB | 6” HB
SL: 77 mph | 1900+ rpm | -7” HB
5 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 6 K
Cole O’Connell impressed with his pitchability and three-pitch mix, leading a complete game effort. He worked efficiently and consistently threw strikes from a high three-quarter slot. The fastball had ride at the top of the zone and tunneled well with his splitter, which generated swing-and-miss and soft contact due to its drastic velocity drop and late fade. He also mixed in a short, late-breaking slider that played well off the fastball. O’Connell’s poise and sequencing ability on the mound stood out, and his splitter gives him a unique weapon moving forward.

2B: 93.5 mph EV | 29.7° LA | 319 ft

FB has run, and life is getting on the inside while painting the corners. Tunnel his CH with his FB, getting hitters out in front. CB has 1-7 shapes, freezing hitters, using it ahead in the count.
