09/24/2023 - National Showcase - Glen Allen (Richmond), VA Cooper is a C/RHP prospect who will graduate in 2026. Medium frame athletic build with strength present. At C he has active feet and presents a low target. Good lateral movement, with good blocking angles, and centers the baseball. Works thumb under, with a quick exchange, into an over-the-top release point. He made accurate and on-line throws to second base with an arm velocity up to 79mph and his best pop time was 2.26 seconds. On the mound he gets a good rear hip coil and separates his hands on-time. Shows a clean arm stroke and has a controlled landing. Throws a FB that sits 74-75mph with sinking action, an 11/5 shaped breaking ball with tight spin/good depth, and a slider that he throws from the same window as CB. CB was best pitch during his bullpen session. A right-handed hitter, he hits from a tall and even stance. Shows ability to control the barrel and is centered at contact. A direct barrel path enables him hit line drives to all fields with a bat exit velocity up to 70mph during BP. With 3 years of continued growth and development, we see Cooper having a bright future on the baseball field.
