He has electric stuff, including a fastball that has averaged 95.6 mph in his career and both a curveball and slider that seemed on track to be plus pitches as he was rising through the minor league ranks. Now with the Astros, Cole could be allowed to harness his breaking pitches with more regularity, and while he's moving into a more homer-friendly environment and the DH league, be aware that Minute Maid Park is a sneaky-good pitchers' park from a run-scoring standpoint. The change of scenery could help and is enough to make him a top-25 potential pick at his position.
