LHP Cooper Kubinski (Joliet Catholic, 2025) was a noteworthy arm out of the bullpen for Elite Baseball Training 2025s. The 6-foot, 195-pound left-hander had multiple short stints out of the ‘pen where he showed a clean, fluid, easy arm and fastball that he spotted up to both sides of the plate at 82-83 mph. Left-handed arm with some pitchability to follow in the Illinois 2025 class.
