Cooper Rhodes is giving Evansville a sneaky-reliable lefty bat with gap pop and speed
In the 2026 season, Cooper Rhodes has been a useful table-setter for Evansville, hitting .261 with a .694 OPS while adding 12 hits, 4 doubles, and 7 RBIs in 46 at-bats; he also showed up in big moments with multi-hit games and key RBI doubles in MVC play.[1][4][6][7] The appeal is the blend: compact 5-foot-7 size, left-handed bat, second-base/outfield versatility, and the kind of aggressive, fast-game profile that already translated in high school, where he was known for stealing bases and piling up runs.[2][3][5]
