Cooper Gonzalez, Ryan (TX), 2027
Positional Profile: SS/2B RHH/INF with solid build to add needed strength. Plus runner, moves well on baseball field. Good actions present, solid defensive player. Needs to improve raw arm strength. Opportunities for adjustments with hit approach and swing to improve future bat/power combo.
Body: 5-10, 144.8-pounds. Thin, lean build/frame. Width to shoulders. Expect a solid, lean build with future growth and maturity. Good physical projections.
Hit: RHH. Open stance, toe tap stride. Lands in solid position to hit. Firm front side with upright posture. Rotational back foot, squash the bug movement. Back foot needs to drive right hip/lower 1/2 forward into firm front side, increasing ability to impact baseball. Long swing. Barrel/hands start in solid position. Barrel dump to swing creating length. Develop ability to take hands/barrel on direct path to baseball.
Power: 89 max exit velocity, averaged 81.4 mph. 281' max distance. Project nice bat/power combo in future with hit approach and swing adjustments.
Arm: RH. INF-79 mph. Arm works, shows ability to throw from all angles. Recommend long toss program to increase arm speed and raw arm strength.
Defense: Feet work well getting to baseball. Nice job of playing thru ball with feet. Hands work, good exchange, quick release. Good actions.
ATH: 6.83 runner in the 60. Moves well. Keep arm swing from coming across body and keep elbow near torso. Will get faster with maturity. 24.80 max vertical.

Body: 5-10, 145-pounds. Good physical build/frame to add strength in future. Projects well physically.
Hit: RHH. Lands in good position to hit. Rotational back foot, work to drive lower 1/2, back hip forward. Driving body into firm front side. Recommend trying to develop some linear movement forward with back foot, this will also help involve lower 1/2 in swing. Barrel/hands end in good position to launch, lots of movement prior, would like to see hand/barrel movement calm some, this will also lead to improved timing. 60.9 mph bat speed with 5 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 84 max exit velocity, averaged 80.0 mph. 291' max distance. Project solid/bat power combo in future. Opportunities for adjustments present. Lot to like with approach and swing, can improve.

Defense: Good feet, moves well to baseball. Gets into position to field baseball well, hands work. Does a nice job of playing through baseball with feet. Developing into solid infielder, actions present.

Cooper Gonzalez (Denton Ryan, 2027) showcased good actions across the board. He moves well on the dirt with smooth footwork and a loose arm, projecting as a reliable defender. At the plate, Gonzalez features a short, compact swing, staying behind the ball and consistently driving line drives to all fields. As he continues to add strength, his game is poised to elevate to the next level.
