The younger brother of BYU catcher and former Riverton star, Parker Goff, Cooper has bloodlines, as I also coached against his father Mike Goff, when Mike was at Utah in the mid-90’s. Cooper is a projection type athletic OF’er with a lean long and lanky frame. Still immature physically and needing to fill out and add size and strength, the younger Goff has the type of hitting stroke that you can dream on and see playing at the next level. A TCU commit right before the deadline in April of 2023, when the recruiting rules changed on being contacted by schools. Goff played his freshman year at state power Mountain Ridge, where he was one of five, yes 5 D1 commits on the roster, so playing time would be limited as the entire class except 3 next level hopefuls were all underclassmen. Goff worked his way into the lineup, thanks to a next level type OF who sustained an arm injury, that limited his play to DH only and this Goff was able to now get playing home 5-6 games into the season and more than held his own! In 22 games, the young 15 year old hit .317 over 72 PA’s with 19 RBI and 7 2B’s for good measure. The type of production usually seen in his age category that at next level talents as freshman. It will be exciting to see where his growth and maturation takes him next spring as he is playing for the highly nationally competitive Wow Factor Nation, overseen nationally by a former asst director in GA for Prep Baseball.
