Cooper Littledike brings late-inning swing-and-miss stuff to Utah Valley
Littledike is a proven relief arm for Utah Valley, coming off a 2025 season with a 2.27 ERA, six saves, and 30 strikeouts in 31 2/3 innings, plus the final outs of UVU’s first combined no-hitter and a key save in the program’s first-ever regional win over No. 12 Oregon.[1][3] In 2026, his numbers were rougher (9.28 ERA), but he still logged 18 strikeouts in 21 1/3 innings and was trusted for multiple-inning stints, suggesting a durable bullpen option with competitive leverage experience.[1] His appeal is clear: he has already shown he can handle pressure, miss bats, and help finish games when the stakes rise.[1][3][4]
