08/30/2024 - All-Ripken Games - Cooperstown, NY Cooper Blough is an OF/1B that recently played in the All-Ripken Games at Cooperstown. Bottom line this kid is the real deal! Defensively he is extremely athletic with very sure hands and a deadly accurate strong arm. On the mound his fastball was clocked at 60 mph and had lots of life to it. His balance and coordination throughout his delivery are what allowed him to pitch ahead of most of the hitters that he faced. He also displayed incredible mound presence. At the plate he is a very dangerous and extremely feared hitter. He was able to draw two walks which proved that he has a good feel for the strike zone. He also does an outstanding job of staying inside the baseball. He had four hits, and those hits were highlighted by a home run that a scout said, "has not landed yet". It is evident that he swings with bad intentions which is why he has hard loud contact every time he makes contact.
