Cole Watterson brings speed, grit, and on-base value to WSU’s outfield
In the 2025 season, Cole Watterson played 41 games for Washington State and hit .212 with 17 runs, 6 stolen bases, and a four-game hitting streak, showing he can help in the little things even when the bat is quiet. He’s a switch-hitter with speed, a patient enough approach to draw walks, and enough defensive versatility to stay in the lineup. The bigger selling point: he’s a scrappy, high-energy outfielder who adds pressure on the bases and brings academic polish, making him the kind of fit coaches trust for depth, flexibility, and hustle.
