RedHawks righty with a power-arm pedigree and bounce-back upside
Cole Pauley is a Miami (OH) RHP whose profile is built on strike-throwing upside and resilience: in the 2025 season, he made four appearances and struck out three batters in 2.0 innings, and he returned in 2026 after missing 2024 with an elbow injury[1]. He brings legit pedigree from Ohio State and a decorated prep résumé, including 88 strikeouts as a senior, team-captain leadership, and multiple all-state honors[1][2]. If a staff wants a competitive, developmental arm with real track-record upside and some health context to monitor, Pauley is a smart “bet on the tools” fit[1][2].
