Cole Watterson brings speed, pressure, and sneaky value to WSU’s outfield mix
In the 2025 season, Watterson appeared in 41 games for Washington State, hit .212, scored 17 runs, and went 6-for-11 in stolen bases, which tells the real story: he’s a speed-first defender who can change a game without a big swing. He also led the NWAC with 46 steals before arriving at WSU, so the quick-twitch profile is real. If your team wants an energetic center-field type who creates chaos on the bases and covers ground, he’s a fit; if you need loud power, that’s not his lane.
