Cooper Stinson

Draft Prospects

• Ranked #229 prospect in 2018 draft
  The younger brother of Graeme, a flamethrowing sophomore reliever for Duke, Stinson is a big, 6-foot-6, 240 pound righty out of Georgia who's made big strides in the last year. Previously a soft bodied pitcher in the 88-90 mph range with mediocre spin, Stinson popped a bit at Perfect Game's World Wood Bat Association World Championship, where he was in the 90-93 mph range and showed feel for an average slider. This spring he's touched 94 mph and he routinely shows a power slider that in the mid 80s that looks like a future plus pitch. On top of that, Stinson also has a split-change that he breaks out occasionally and also has the look of a 60-grade offering. With a clean arm action and above-average body control, Stinson is an appealing and projectable arm who should be throwing in the mid 90s with more regularity in the future thanks to a strong arm and big frame. A team might like that overall package now, but he could easily get to Duke, where he will work on improving his command and poise on the mound, and attempt to gain consistency that he currently lacks.
