Cole Fontenelle

Draft Prospects

• Ranked #224 prospect in 2020 draft
  A three-sport high school athlete, Fontenelle might be the best prep hitter in the Northwest in the 2020 class. He was a member of the 2019 Area Code team, but had to play out of position at first base on the club for the first time, and handled himself well. A shortstop for his high school team, Fontenelle moves well for his size—he’s listed at 6-foot-3, 190 pounds—but might be a better long-term fit at third base. He’s a below-average runner who might not have the short-area quickness or range necessary for shortstop, but he has solid hands and above-average arm strength. While Fontenelle isn’t overflowing with tools, he has an impressive feel to hit from both sides and a frame that could easily grow into power in a few years. If Fontenelle makes it to campus at Washington, he could develop into a well-rounded middle-of-the-order type hitter. Without getting scouted much at all this spring thanks to the shortened 2020 season, that could be a possibility.
