Cooper
Underwood

Positional Profile: LHP/OF Some of the best pitchability in the 2025 class with considerable velo potential. Repeats delivery at high level.
Body: 6-1, 150-pounds. Broad shouldered, long levered frame with plenty of room to fill out.
Delivery: Simple, non manufactured delivery. The footwork is exceptionally clean, he’s well balanced with a gradual build of pace, and creates a very good rhythm between upper & lower half that leads to a smooth break of the hands. He has a simple yet advanced lower half, holding the bend in his back knee from start to finish - this creates downhill trajectory on all pitches and evenly distributed weight at landing (55% back side, 45% front). This makes for an effortless lead leg block that will only create more explosive rotation and velocity as he gets stronger.
Arm Action: RH. Efficient, short circle L3/4 arm action gives him plus deception and plays up his FB tremendously
FB: T81.8, 78-82 mph. Gradual tail. T2209, 2104 average rpm.
CB: 68-71 mph. Vertical shape, late snap. T2373, 2230 average rpm.
SL: 70-72 mph. Sharp sweep, late depth. T2520, 2315 average rpm.
CH: 76-76 mph. Fade & depth. T1909, 1902 average rpm.

GA Preseason All-State

Underwood has some of the best pitchability I can remember in an underclassmen. But in his 6’1 150 lb frame with easy arm speed, there is considerable projection for velocity in the future. There’s so much to like about his simple, non manufactured delivery. The footwork is exceptionally clean, he’s well balanced with a gradual build of pace, and creates a very good rhythm between upper & lower half that leads to a smooth break of the hands. He has a simple yet advanced lower half, holding the bend in his back knee from start to finish - this creates downhill trajectory on all pitches and evenly distributed weight at landing (55% back side, 45% front). This makes for an effortless lead leg block that will only create more explosive rotation and velocity as he gets stronger. This is another special southpaw in the 2025 class with a four pitch arsenal. The FB sat in the 80-83 range at PAS23 and he dotted both edges with a gradual tail. His efficient, short circle L3/4 arm action gives him plus deception and plays up his FB tremendously. Underwood has two different breaking balls with consistent shape and command. The 69-71 CB is 2700 RPM, showing gradual vertical shape and plenty of depth. The 71-73 SL tunnels very well with his FB, showing sharp sweep and late depth. The 75-77 CH has equal parts fade & depth, and absolutely dies at the plate when on. If he continues on this pace, Underwood could end up with 3 avg or better MLB secondary pitches down the line.
