Cooper Cantrell, Martin Luther King Jr. (CA), 2028
Positional Profile: C/OF Athletic catcher with emerging power traits and the ability to impact the baseball in the air.
Body: 5-6, 165-pounds. Compact, athletic build with a strong base and noticeable room to continue adding physical strength.
Hit: RHH. Slightly open, upright setup with the hands set high near the rear shoulder and the barrel working mostly vertical. Uses a controlled leg lift to gather before moving into a short, balanced stride. Creates separation at foot plant, allowing the barrel to work quickly through the zone. Swing features a natural upward path that produces lift, with consistent hard contact primarily to the pull side and left-center gap. 64.9 mph bat speed with 12 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 93 max exit velocity, averaged 83.1 mph. 302' max distance.
Arm: RH. C-74 mph. Quick, compact arm action from a true over-the-top slot. Throws show accuracy and carry, with arm strength trending upward.
Defense: 2.10-2.19 pop times. Works from a low, stable receiving posture with soft hands. Explodes out of the crouch with efficient footwork and clean, direct transfers, consistently staying on line to second base.
ATH: 7.29 runner in the 60. 1.64 and 4.00 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. 20.60 max vertical.
Vizual Edge: 71.17 Edge Score
9/26/25
Cooper Cantrell, Martin Luther King Jr. (CA), 2028
Positional Profile: C/OF Backstop who creates consistent lift with fast, developing pull-side power.
Body: 5-6, 154-pounds. Compact, well-proportioned frame with more strength coming.
Hit: RHH. Upright, open stance with hands at shoulder height and a vertical barrel. Small leg kick into a short stride, creating separation at foot strike. Works short to the ball with an uphill path that generates lift, showing a pull-side/LCF approach with frequent hard contact. 65.7 mph bat speed with 13 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 93 max exit velocity, averaged 89.2 mph. 338' max distance.
Arm: RH. C-79 mph. Compact arm stroke from an over-the-top slot with accurate throws; strength should continue trending up.
Defense: 1.95-2.00 pop times. Low, balanced crouch with soft hands. Quick out of the stance with efficient footwork and clean transfers.
ATH: 7.36 runner in the 60. 1.75 and 4.08 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. 22.00 max vertical.
Vizual Edge: 65.76 Edge Score
9/26/25
Cantrell played well in his single game at Bushnell, under the lights, smashing an RBI triple into the left-center gap and flashing well-above-average speed for a catcher, getting to third with ease. Offensively, he features a balanced swing that works gap-to-gap, showing a patient approach and ability to work into good counts. Behind the dish, Cantrell impressed as a reliable backstop—posting average 2.0 pop times with carry on throws to 2B, showing he has the arm strength to control the run game. He blocks well, plays with toughness, and brings a hard-nosed mentality that stands out at the position. Despite a compact frame, Cantrell plays bigger than his size, and even in just one game at Bushnell, he left a strong impression as a backstop with both offensive impact and defensive reliability.

Cooper Cantrell, Martin Luther King Jr. (CA), 2028
Positional Profile: C/OF Athletic backstop who creates consistent lift and displays present power to the pull side.
Body: 5-6, 160-pounds. Strong, well-proportioned build with room for future physical development.
Hit: RHH. Upright, open stance with hands at shoulder level, raised back elbow, and barrel vertical, showing minimal hand movement pre-load. Initiates the load by sitting into the back knee with a slight bat waggle as the hands begin to drift back. Uses a small leg kick before a short, controlled stride forward. Turns hips at foot strike to create some separation, while staying short to the ball. Works on an uphill bat path that promotes lift and carry, showing a pull-side and up-the-middle approach. Makes frequent hard contact and displays present pop to the pull side. Will add bat speed as frame fills out. 64 mph bat speed with 9 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 92 max exit velocity, averaged 83.3 mph. 329' max distance.
Arm: RH. C-71 mph. Compact arm path with an over-the-top release. Accurate throws to the bag, with arm strength likely to improve as the frame continues to fill out.
Defense: 2.06-2.07 pop times. Sets up in a low crouch and receives with soft hands. Shows athleticism coming out of the crouch with quick footwork, paired with clean and efficient transfers.
ATH: 7.37 runner in the 60. 1.75 and 4.07 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. 21.90 max vertical.
Vizual Edge: 67.72 Edge Score
