Cooper Moore was LSU’s most efficient weekend arm before an arm injury cut his breakout short
In the 2026 season, Cooper Moore flashed frontline-starter upside for LSU: a 3-3 record, 3.38 ERA, 39 strikeouts in 32.0 innings, and an eye-popping 11-K debut against Milwaukee that earned national Team of the Week recognition. His calling card is strike-throwing efficiency and swing-and-miss stuff, with fastball/changeup quality that played immediately in the SEC. The catch: he missed the rest of 2026 with an arm injury and is expected back in 2027, so the fit is best for a team betting on impact when healthy, not immediate durability.
