Danny Cook is Pepperdine’s clutch, rising infield bat with gap power and late-inning juice
In the 2026 season, Danny Cook has emerged as a reliable middle-of-the-order infielder for Pepperdine, hitting .258 with 33 hits, 7 doubles, 2 homers, and 18 RBIs in 42 games, while also delivering a walk-off homer against Michigan. He’s not just a stat line—coaches clearly trust his bat in pressure spots, and his 2025 breakout (.288, 21 RBIs in 41 games) shows this isn’t a fluke. The fit? A tough, competitive INF who brings contact, occasional pop, and clutch vibes.
