Cole Johnson brings Georgia a lefty bat with pop, range, and a highlight-reel glove
In the 2026 season, Georgia freshman Cole Johnson has flashed immediate impact as an OF/LHP, hitting .370 with a .431 on-base percentage and .500 slugging in 17 games while adding 6 doubles and 7 RBI. He was a 2025 MLB Draft pick out of Oconee County HS, where he earned three-time All-State honors and put up monster senior-year numbers, and his biggest separator is the rare combo of polished bat, athleticism, and real defensive juice — the kind that showed up in his game-saving wall robbery against Tennessee. If you want a high-upside, hometown, play-every-inning competitor, he fits the bill.
