Top Rankings

Organization Prospect Rankings

BA Grade/Risk: 40/High

Track Record: Coleman was a late-round flier who pitched three years at Kentucky in a strictly relief role. He also pitched three seasons of summer ball, once in the Ripken League and twice for Brewster in the Cape Cod League, where he was teammates with fellow Yankees prospect Tyler Hardman for a season. Amateur scouting analyst Scott Benecke in particular was intrigued by Coleman's fastball. That has analysis has proved prescient as Coleman has dominated his way up the ladder. In his last outing of the season, Coleman spun a scoreless ninth inning to finish a championship-sealing no-hitter for Double-A Somerset.

Scouting Report: As was the case in college, Coleman is a relief-only prospect. His fastball is the key to his arsenal. The pitch sat in the mid 90s and touched 97 with tremendous movement and spin rates that allowed it to get whiffs at a 35% clip and strikes at a rate of nearly 70%. Coleman backed the fastball with a shorter slider in the low 80s that could get to average with further improvement. He has a changeup in the high 80s as well, but it was a clear third pitch in the arsenal and was thrown very rarely. He throws strikes at a high rate as well, and did even better in that regard when he moved from High-A to Double-A.

The Future: Coleman should move to Triple-A in 2023 and has a chance to make his big league debut at some point in the year. He's got a future as a middle-innings reliever.

Scouting Grades Fastball: 60. Slider: 50. Changeup: 30. Control: 60
