Evaluations

5-foot-4, 128 pounds. SS/2B, R/R. 1st-Team All-Conference as junior (.923 OPS). 4-year varsity starter (all-conference honors every year). Leadoff/No. 2 hitter with very good speed (11.1 home to home). Usually hits to opposite field or up middle, but can pull. Gets doubles and triples by hitting into gaps and speed (2.99 20-yard dash). Swing is on plane long through the zone with good bat path, good balance and extension (72.5 mph extension, 58.3 mph bat speed, 84% on plane efficiency). Working to get hips more involved and use lower half better. At SS, has good range (can get to balls behind third baseman or second baseman), quick first step and solid footwork (62 mph IF arm, 66 mph run & gun). Solid forehand and backhand. Great work ethic. Hit/throws almost every day (has cage at home with pitching machine) and drives 1 hour for workouts. Leader by example (good attitude, doesn’t dwell on errors), coachable. Mentally tough, a fighter and very humble. Diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma cancer during her sophomore year and kept a smile on her face and never complained. Great student (3.9 GPA). — Jason Lauren, ScoutU Scout, 414-303-7607 (cell), Jason@ScoutU.com

Message from Barrett

My name is Barrett Cole, and I attend Marinette High School in Wisconsin. I currently stand 5’4” and weigh 128 pounds. I am a 2026 shortstop and second baseman with a 3.9 GPA and a 21 on the ACT. I plan to major in chemistry in college. I made 1st-Team All-Conference as a junior (59 mph infield arm, 72.5 mph exit, 58.3 mph bat speed, 11.1 home to home). is What sets me apart is my strong work ethic and determination to not only meet goals, but to exceed them.   What makes me stand out as an athlete is my calm attitude on the field, even when a play or an at-bat doesn’t go the way I planned. I understand that failure is part of the game, and I focus on using those moments to grow and come back stronger. Beyond practices, I put in extra work almost every day in the cage with tee work, soft toss and the pitching machine, and I also travel 1 hour to Green Bay for group workouts with other athletes to push myself further.   Academically, I am ranked 12th (of 151) in my class, while also being a member of the National Honor Society and taking a full load of college-level courses such as Pre-Calc and English 101. I take pride in my leadership both on and off the field, setting an example with a positive mindset, serving on Marinette’s Athletic Leadership Team, Student Senate, and Sources of Strength, and I give back through volunteer work in my community.   Thank you for taking the time to read my message and for considering me as a potential recruit for your program.
