Cooper
Cluff

The bloodlines in tact with brother Jackson (former BYU star SS) and a Nationals Top 30 Prospect, to go along with his father Paul, who was a 3 time college All-American. Cooper's strong suit is his defense, as he is an abv avg route runner and takes solid angles to the baseball, while showing instincts and good reads off the bat, to track down balls in all directions. The arm is BA w/avg accuracy to 3B and needs better alignment to the plate. The arm action is clean and fluid with good ext. The speed will relegate 7.36/60 will relegate to a corner OF spot, with LF most likely. The bat and overall mechanics to the swing are sound and gets to the launch phase and syncs his lower ½ well. The path is short and compact to the ball, with a whippy fluid high two hand finish. The focus and emphasis to improve his offensive game is really working on firing his core and lower ½ more on approach to the ball. The bat speed and hand speed are well below avg with limited rotational acceleration. This with a lack of lower ½ twitch limits the impact of the ball off the bat w/an EV max of 88. Core strength movements should be addressed to counteract these deficiencies. The swing is in place with a need for added strength. Still has 2 years of HS to address and improve. But comes from knowledge based high level experience in the home.
