Cole Green brings pop, contact, and lineup juice to Rice’s infield
In the 2026 season, Cole Green hit .290 with 7 home runs, 32 RBI, 13 doubles, and 9 steals across 56 games, showing a rare blend of power, bat-to-ball skill, and athleticism for a college infielder.[5][11] He’s the kind of versatile, right-handed hitter who can fit into an offense in a meaningful way fast, and reports note he improved significantly from his freshman year while handling a heavy workload for Rice.[6][14][15] If you want an infield bat with real all-around juice and some transfer-portal momentum, he’s a pretty attractive fit.[13][14]
