Throughout the preseason we'll be highlighting top newcomers with our Rookie Review installments. A seasoned Junior shortstop impressed this past weekend at Flood City Elite Scout Day and could be due for another jump.

ROOKIE REVIEW

What We Liked: The 5-foot-10, 180lb versatile middle infielder bounced around during defensive evaluations with positive, momentum-gaining footwork to the target and a soft glove hand that played out in front. This was after a loud batting practice session working up to a 94 mph best exit velocity (85 mph AVG) with a 57% sweet spot rate and 76 mph bat-speed. The Bishop Guilfoyle product will be a fun high school season follow with a chance to continue boosting his stock with a strong spring.

‘23 SS Cooper Rother (Bishop Guilfoyle) is another #uncommitted prospect that had a standout day. Light on his toes and rolled the chest forward for momentum to the bag. Quick pace and under control, peaking at an 82 mph arm strength. Left side tendencies. @FloodCityElite pic.twitter.com/5u28Dmrli5
