COLE RAGANS: THE MAKING OF A MODERN ACE Drafted high, derailed by injury twice, Cole Ragans became an afterthought in a game that moves fast and forgets faster. But Ragans didn't quit. He rebuilt. Not just his arm, but his entire approach to pitching. Cole Ragans: The Making of a Modern Ace is the definitive story of a pitcher who turned setbacks into fuel and transformed into one of baseball's most electrifying arms. From the grind of Tommy John surgeries to mastering data-driven mechanics, this book breaks down how Ragans evolved into the prototype of the modern ace: power, precision, and poise. Through interviews, behind-the-scenes access, and sharp analysis, it reveals how he developed the mentality to dominate and the tools to sustain it. This isn't just about one pitcher's rise it's a blueprint for what greatness looks like when talent meets resilience, and when the future of pitching wears #55.
