LEGENDS OF POLKโS PAST: Cole Griffith, C/1B (Baseball)
A gritty 6-foot-1 and 210 pounds, Cole Griffith helped Polk State reach the FCSAA Tournament in each of his two seasons on campus. As a freshman during the 2022 season, Griffith earned second-team All-Suncoast Conference honors. That year, he hit .338 with two home runs, 21 RBIs, and seven stolen bases. Griffithโs .435 on-base percentage was good for third on the team.
As a sophomore in 2023, Griffith spent most of the season hampered by injury but played an important late-season role as Polk State advanced to the state tournament for a third straight season. For the year, Griffith hit .271 with 11 RBIs in 24 games.
Griffith would spend his junior season of 2024 at Winthrop University, an NCAA Division I school in South Carolina. Playing for a new group of Eagles, Griffith appeared in 25 games with 17 starts and ranked third on the team with a .286 batting average to go with three home runs and 15 RBIs. Heโs now at Georgia State University, a Division I program in Atlanta, where he will spend his senior season.
Due to the recent coaching changes at Winthrop University, I have decided to enter the transfer portal with 1 year of eligibility remaining.
