Jackson Cooper brings projectable right-handed heat to The Citadel’s pitching staff
Jackson Cooper is a 6-foot-3, 185-pound freshman right-handed pitcher for The Citadel, and the appeal is simple: he has a live arm and room to grow. One scouting note pegs him in the mid-80s, sitting around 84 mph with a top fastball of 87 mph, which suggests more velocity could come as he matures. He has not recorded game action yet, so he’s more a long-term upside bet than an immediate stat-sheet star. If your team wants a developmental arm with size, strike-throwing potential, and a little sneaky projectability, Cooper is worth a look.
