Benjamin Smet-Cooper (2028 3B, Kenosha, WI) flashed some two-way potential in this one, showcasing his talent at the plate and on the mound. Standing at 5-foot-11, 199-pounds, the big left-handed hitter is your prototypical power-hitting first baseman. Early on in the game, he

Can't play baseball ⚾️ all year round. Basketball helps me with my overall athleticism, gives my arm a rest, and works different muscle groups. Didn't get this jump ball, but I was close 🤣

It was and still is ... School, homework, and then 100 balls off the tee. This started at 8U. At 14U, I'm up to 90 EV and have not had a season where I did not bat above .400
It's doesn't happen overnight, and you have to work every day to keep it!

@bsblbluebook
game one, I had a few rollovers. Made the adjustments and started using the whole field again . The ability to drive balls to the gaps in all fields is what I feel separates me from others!

After meticulously studying Benjamin Smet Cooper's videos and cross-referencing data from Prep Baseball Report and Perfect Game, I've compiled a comprehensive scouting report.

When I strike out, I always let my teammates know what I saw and how the pitcher is pitching. Never throw my helmet, bat, or get worked up it happens . The goal is to not strike out, but it's baseball ⚾️

Got caught trying to steal home. Sometimes, try not to worry about the outcome..Just be aggressive. A lot of our tournaments are about RS and RA so every run counts. No outs up by 4 I went for it 🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️
And I failed !

When I swing i look to do damage!
BP or in a game my intent is to destroy baseballs . I have a pitch I look 👀 for and if they make the mistake and put a ball in my zone🚀
With that said if I'm down in the count or situation calls for a slap I will shorten up and put it in play!
