Jake Cole has the long and lean right-handed frame, listed at 6-3, 220 over the summer. Cole could be a power arm in the making and has a college commitment to North Carolina.

Baseball Beginnings is pleased to unveil our first NATIONAL look at the June 2010 draft here in September, 2009, eight months before the first name is called.
In the scouting world, every quality player is on a follow list. It’s a good bet that most of these players are already on such lists, but it’s important to remember that things will change over the next eight months – no list, no matter this one or one by a team should be considered definitive at this time of year, but should instead be regarded as a road map.
Some players who are not on this list will be hot and others who were hot in summer and fall will lose some luster in spring. That’s why you won’t see rankings here, because Baseball Beginnings works like a major league team. We’re not ranking players right now. And when we do, we keep them in-house. The world is full of people who will rank players. A good scout NEVER tells.
Every single player on this list has been seen by our scouting staff IN PERSON, meaning we don’t take our information from secondary sources. It’s on us.

Dex Kjerstad hit what was probably the hardest hit ball Friday afternoon in a game between the Rangers (Texas, Louisiana) and Reds (Rockies, Idaho and Hawaii).
