Cooper Mullens is Michigan’s pesky clutch INF with a knack for big moments
In the 2026 season, Cooper Mullens has shown he’s more than a depth piece: he delivered a walk-off two-run single against No. 15 Oregon and has been praised for smart baserunning, contact-oriented at-bats, and versatility across the infield and DH roles. At 5-foot-7, he wins with baseball IQ, competitiveness, and late-game composure rather than loud tools. His path also suggests patience and resilience—he redshirted before carving out a role—making him a fit for teams that value gritty, adaptable players who elevate the energy without needing the ball to leave the yard.
