Cooper Grace brings two-way upside and live-arm intrigue to Nebraska
In the 2026 season, Nebraska’s Cooper Grace is listed as a 6-foot-3, 215-pound freshman RHP/INF, and his biggest calling card is usable arm strength with real two-way athleticism.[1][3] Prep reports on Grace highlighted a loose, whippy right arm, fastball life in the upper-80s, and a four-pitch mix that suggests starter potential if the command keeps sharpening; Kansas rankings also placed him among the state’s top 2025 arms.[6][8] He looks like the kind of fit who can grow into more than just innings—think upside, not finished product.[1][6]
