Cole Lockwood is a contact-first infielder with early-season speed and steady at-bats for Valparaiso
In his first 13 games for Valparaiso in the 2026 season, Cole Lockwood hit .277 with 13 hits, ranked third on the team in hits, and led the Beacons with three stolen bases, showing a useful blend of bat-to-ball skill and early on-base impact. He also carried that production into summer ball, going 3-for-3 with two RBI and two runs scored in a Northwoods League win, which points to a hitter who can set the tone rather than just fill a lineup spot. That profile fits a team looking for competitive energy, speed, and dependable infield offense.
