Cole Evans is a world class softball player, both offensively and defensively. He has seen success this season while doing the business on both sides of the world; for ISC Winners the New York Gremlins, the New Zealand Open Club winners Mt Albert Ramblers and the provincial champions, Auckland. He is not only leading the way on the diamond; he sets high standards off the diamond with his dedication and preparation towards achieving the best results. This approach sets the bench mark for his team mates, and greatly attributes to his success as a player. Cole is the current Black Sox captain, well respected by players, coaching and management group and is a very deserving winner of the SNZ Male Player of the Year Award for 2024.
