Grant Cole  
Shortstop | Val d'Or Sharks

Hitting
He has the mental discipline to handle clutch situations. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency. He uses the entire field and has gap power.

Baserunning & Defense
He's at his best in situations where a base has to be stolen, such as the late innings of close games. Cole isn't a fluid shortstop, but he's not afraid to get dirty and gets the job done. His biggest problem in the field simply has to be his throwing arm... it's well below par.
