Notes

6/10/24
Smet-Cooper has been a name-to-know in Wisconsin’s 2028 class for some time and showed why that is the case this weekend. Verified at 5-foot-11, 185 pounds, Smet-Cooper has a physical presence with clear strength throughout. Lighter than in the past, Smet-Cooper seems to improve physically with each look we get. At the plate, the 2028 grad swings a loud, quick bat that caught numerous barrels this weekend. Smet-Cooper’s swing can be described as intentful as the power bat also caught good contact throughout the weekend’s contests. In the field, the L/R athlete was moved around but showed versatility as he got looks from both corners of the infield, some work in the outfield, and made an appearance on the mound. After a couple looks at Ben across the winter and now this weekend, Smet-Cooper’s name continues to balloon in Wisconsin’s 2028 class.

Smet-Cooper has a strong offensive profile and will only get better as his body continues to mature.

Then in Puma’s two games on Saturday, he continued his hot streak at the plate as he combined for four hits in his five at-bats, two of which were for extra bases, a double and a triple.
