Z’s Prospect Watch: Arkansas MLB Cole Joyce

[Zbrod95]

Instincts and speeds that’s Cole Joyce’s game. 11.11 100 meter at 6’0 212 and he looks even faster than that on tape. He’s a guy who should be considered more of a down hill guy but can be considered 2 way because his speed is going to help him in coverage and he isn’t tight hipped. Big time hitter with instincts to find and hit the hole hard and then you...really hard. Needs to develop more in coverage which he definitely has the athleticism for. Needs some strength/weight as well but he would definitely play on the return time early. I’m surprised Arkansas isn’t all over this kid but UCF is. UCF took a similar backer from Arkansas last year named Quade Mosier. This kid is way more athletic though.

Hes eating that GMO corn. Who's the last white guy to play on our back 7 Mccarthy? Witt being the only other one i can think of.

You had Gordinier but he literally never played because of injuries.

Good find. He can definitely run. Would love to see him in a camp because he has some tightness.

The kid has good speed and he brings it when making a tackle. Not having camps this summer hurts him. Coaches are going to want to see him in person to get a better evaluation.
