Cole Mathis - Prospect Profile

Baseball America - July 1st: "Mathis didn’t pitch at all this spring and started off slowly as a hitter, but he finished the year on a hot streak and is a career .327/.451/.606 hitter with 24 home runs and more walks than strikeouts. He’s more of a pure hitter than a big slugger in the box, with strong bat-to-ball skills, zone contact rates and a keen eye that keeps him inside the strike zone on his swings."

MLB.com - July 1st: "While Mathis may not have the prettiest right-handed swing, it's an effortless stroke that produces consistent contact to all fields. He has solid power, driving most of his home runs to left-center, and might do more damage if he launched balls in the air more frequently."

Joe Doyle - Future Star Series - March 18th: "He was just 19 years old though facing not only better competition, but older competition as well. The bat is intriguing, but scouts will have to sift through his ability to handle more premium stuff at the next level due to an exaggerated barrel lag and late hitch."
