2024 Draft Prospect Cole Mathis Talks Cleveland, Baseball, and Teaching Ties, Charleston, MLB Draft

We're leaning heavily into the MLB Draft this year for the Guardians and were joined by College of Charleson star Cole Mathis. Cole had a breakout year in college in 2023, continued his success on the Cape Cod League circuit last summer, and has seen his name rising among draft circles for the year ahead. He talks about his success in 2023 and on the Cape Cod League, as well as his dad, Sammie, being drafted by Cleveland in 1995, and wanting to coach and be a teacher. We also talk with Cole about being a two-way player, his approach at the plate, his favorite players and team growing up, how he unwinds from baseball, and his pick for the 2024 Super Bowl.
