LSU baseball has its own version of "Charlie Hustle" and his name is Cole Freeman.
He hustles on the field, spreading an infectious enthusiasm. He hustled for years to win a spot on the LSU roster. And he's hustling toward a place in the Major League Baseball Draft, which begins Monday.
What fuels his break-neck style, reminiscent of big-league star Pete Rose, is his speed. That's the one tool that never goes into a slump, as coaches in all sports like to say.
"Cole brings a serious tool to the table - he's a fast runner," LSU coach Paul Mainieri said of his senior second baseman.
