Cole threw eight pitches in a perfect inning Tuesday against the Marlins, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Cole is on a specialized throwing program, which is why he only pitched one inning while other starters are throwing two at this time of camp. Seven of his eight pitches were four-seam fastballs, the final of which clocked in at 97 mph. Following the abbreviated outing, the right-hander worked on some offspeed pitches in the bullpen.
