Ethan Cole’s bat brings juice to Minnesota’s lineup
In the 2026 season, Ethan Cole has been a productive middle-of-the-order threat for Minnesota, highlighted by a two-homer, two-RBI game against Northwestern and another homer in a 24-2 win over St. Thomas[4][6]. He’s listed as a 6-foot-2, 215-pound infielder and gives the Gophers a physical, run-producing presence who can change a game with one swing[1][12]. If you need a hitter with real power upside and a straightforward, no-nonsense offensive profile, he’s a fit—just don’t ask him to be subtle; that’s not his thing[3][4].
