In the 32nd round of the 2011 Draft the Indians select right-handed pitcher Cole Pitts out of Colquitt County Senior High School (GA).

Bats: Right, Throws: Right, Height: 6'5", Weight: 215, Date of Birth: 09/03/1992

Note: Pitts signed to go to school with Georgia Tech. He is raw and according to reports has no idea how to spin a ball. That's easy to fix, and he has a ton of ups.

Local story on him

Jeff Ellis: Cole Pitts is a righty from the Georgia prep ranks. He is committed to attend Georgia Tech in the fall. Last summer as a member of the all Georgia team, he earned Most Valuable Pitcher honors in the Junior Sunbelt classic. He is big at 6’6”, and thanks to a tweak in his delivery he added more velocity before the start of his senior year. He is a good athlete who also plays on the basketball team. He is another hard sign for the Tribe.  Thanks to his size and already improving velocity, there is the potential for a dominating pitcher in there. It is just a question of if he can be signed away and if the Indians have the funds to do it.
