CBSSports.com Baseball Insider Jon Heyman reports Pirates starting pitcher prospect Gerrit Cole, who was the first overall pick in the 2011 draft, has been impressive in camp this spring.
While he's still expected to open the year at Triple-A Indianapolis, Heyman reports Cole is expected to make his MLB debut later this summer.
Cole, who is considered a top 100 prospect by Baseball America (No. 7) and MLB.com (No. 9), is 1-0 with a 3.60 ERA and 1.00 WHIP in three spring outings (two starts). He also has seven strikeouts to two walks in 10 innings.
