Cooper Pratt: MiLB Gold Glove SS

[Joseph Zarr]

Chourio...Quero...and now one SS Cooper Pratt. Well deserved! 

The future is bright!

For a guy who was a good hitter, and likely to stick at SS, but it was also debated during the pre-draft reports I read (a lot of Gunnar Henderson comps, but also a lot of hedging that if he gets bigger he can't handle SS), this is a nice sign. He may still have to move off the 6 position, but at this time point he looks firmly entrenched as a future SS to go along with Turang, Ortiz, and a guy like EBJ as a future bench defense/pinch running like of UT.

I agree with Bieder that he's fully entrenched there as we speak, and IMO should stay there.  Hopefully Cooper becomes our SS of the future, more sooner than later.  Losing Adames definitely opens a spot for him, even though the jump from AA to the Majors would be a big one.  Size-wise, he's not prototypical, but I think he's just fine....look at Cruz who is 6'7" 215 (although he is far from the norm!).  Pratt is 6'4" 195, and comps well with the likes of Seager and Correa.

His range is slightly limited due to his length but it isn't really all that discernible. His hands, glove, and arm are all really good. As is his decision-making. He doesn't have EBJ's overall stretch and range but, then again, he has nowhere near the amount of issues at the plate EBJ has. In my mind, Pratt is far and away the best SS we've seen play stateside in the Brewers system by a hefty margin.

He's got a better shot at starting next season in A+ than he does in Milwaukee. Come on.
