Cooper Hjerpe
Pitching scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
The most realistic path is as a back-end starter who survives on deception, shaping the ball different ways, and enough pitch mix to turn a lineup over twice. The ceiling is better than a pure relief look because the delivery creates difficult angles and he has shown the ability to miss bats, but the floor is pushed down by walk issues and injury history. If the command settles at fringe-average and the fastball/secondary combination remains sharp, he can be an effective No. 5 starter; if the strike throwing stays erratic, the fallback is a multi-inning relief role. The recent performance line is a reminder that the stuff still plays, but the health and control questions keep the projection conservative.
