Biography

Hey there! I'm Cole Smith, a senior at Jacksonville State University where I play baseball and major in finance. You might know me from my Instagram (@Coleray16), where I document my love for the game and all the hard work behind it. Last season, I swung my way to a .333 batting average, but that's just one piece of the puzzle. On the field, I'm all about bringing the hustle, leading by example, and being a true team player. My teammates know they can count on me for an honest play and a quiet confidence that lifts everyone up. But baseball isn't my only passion. My days are fueled by a double play of crushing pitches and crunching numbers. Finance is my other hustle, and I pour the same dedication into my studies as I do into every swing. If you're looking for an athlete who's dedicated, hardworking, and always striving to be better, I'm your guy.
