a contact-first, high-effort freshman giving FGCU length and defensive value
In the 2026 season, Florida Gulf Coast freshman outfielder Cole Lasher has been a steady everyday piece: .254 batting average, .353 on-base percentage, 28 hits, 13 runs, 15 walks, 2 doubles, and 2 stolen bases across 104 plate appearances. He’s not a loud-tool headline machine yet, but the profile is useful—he’s disciplined enough to work counts, athletic enough to handle the outfield, and has already flashed multi-hit and RBI ability in big spots. If a team wants a scrappy, improving left-right balance guy who fits a winning clubhouse, Lasher is the kind of player who quietly makes lineups better.
