Biography:

Signed as a senior out of TCU this winter for a $1,000 after being drafted by Chicago in the 29th round of the 2012 MLB Draft. Missed his senior season at TCU due to a torn ACL.

Sign/Draft:

Coats was a hot prospect after his sophomore year where he set a school record with 99 hits. Hit .326/.377/.508 this spring. OPS over 1.000 as a sophomore with 13 home runs. A good Cape Cod League season the following summer made him a potential early round pick, but his junior year didn't match the production (.825 OPS). Baltimore drafted him in the 12th round a year ago, but he went back to school and didn't show much improvement. (- Future Sox) He was considered a high draft prospect pre-injury, and was bound to go in the later half of the top 10 rounds.

High School:

Was a three-year letterwinner at Plano West High School ... played in the Texas North/South All-Star game and earned MVP honors as a senior ... earned first-team all-state honors as an outfielder ... named the District 9-5A Offensive MVP ... honored as a 2008 Louisville Slugger All-American ... hit .450 with a .950 slugging percentage and nine home runs as a senior ... helped guide his team to a perfect 28-0 record and a 5A state championship.

Scouting Report:

Coats is a sleeper for 2013 but can easily sneak into the Top 25 White Sox prospects seeing as he is an athletic 5-tool player and a draft steal.

Career:

Coats begins his pro career in 2013 starting out with Kanny (low A), skipping Bristol and Great Falls. So far he is tearing up the Sally League offensively and is another huge promotion and Sally League All-Star candidate.

Currently:

Coats is tearing up the Sally League, he is deserving of a mid-season promotion at this rate. He leads his team in AVG. at .371 and is a top 5 league leader in doubles, hits, and AVG.

Did very well at Charlotte in 2015 (17 HR 81 RBI 11 SB .270 BA .313 OBP .438 SLG .751 OPS)

 

Will be 26 going into 2016, may have a shot at an OF spot on the MLB team if he has a strong Spring. Otherwise, he's probably going back to AAA.
