Cole O’Brien is a rotation-ready strike-thrower with real Friday-night upside
Cole O’Brien’s calling card is polish: in the 2025 season at Lipscomb, he posted a 3.14 ERA across 63 innings, then sharpened to a 2.39 ERA in ASUN play, with a 2.62 ERA as a starter and a reputation for handling right-handed hitters well. He also helped earn All-ASUN Third Team honors, and Lipscomb described him as a quality-start type who can work deep enough to stabilize a staff. The one caution flag: his 2026 season was cut short by injury after just three starts, so the fit is strongest for a team that values experience, command, and competitive poise over pure stuff.
