Gerrit Cole insider: Initial Yankees rejection was key to everything

John Savage knows about recruiting Gerrit Cole. The longtime UCLA head coach got the right-hander to commit to the Bruins out of Orange Lutheran HS in Southern California then waited to see if he’d actually get to coach him. “We were pretty comfortable we would be able to hold onto him,” Savage said by phone….



PROSPECT SPOTLIGHT
Tyler Nunez, a C from Lake Nona HS, is a 6'2 190lb athletic catcher who provides strength with the bat and glove. During BP, Tyler stuck with a middle of the field approach while staying on a line. He impacted the ball well with his compact and direct path, T90EV. He showed off his real athleticism behind the plate by posting a 2.04 pop time while staying around the bag on every throw. He is a good looking athletic uncommitted catcher to keep an eye on.
