    An athletic, 6-foot-6 righthander with a track record of success and an ability to generate easy velocity, Coleman is a high-upside arm out of Missouri State. He struck out 11.7 batters per nine innings and reached double digits in strikeouts in four of his first 14 outings this season. His 91-95 mph fastball will touch 97-98 almost every outing and has plenty of downhill plane. Early in the game when he's letting it loose, Coleman shows the ability to generate moderate arm side run. His 80-82 mph slider flashes plus as well, as he can get some late tilt on it. He struggles to maintain his velocity deeper into games, as both his velocity and control back up as he wears down. In later innings, he'll often sit 90-91 mph. Some scouts project him moving to the bullpen because of that, while other evaluators believe he has the stuff to remain in the rotation. If he does move to the bullpen, scouts see him as someone who could one day throw 100 mph.
