Cooper Pratt

After not getting selected on the first day of the 2023 MLB Draft, it seemed that Pratt would make it to campus at Mississippi, but the Brewers were able to persuade him to turn pro with an over-slot $1.35 million bonus after selecting him in the sixth round. The 6-foot-4, 195-pound shortstop had one of the better hit tools in the class and projects to grow into more power as he fills out. Pratt combines excellent bat-to-ball ability with a strong eye at the plate, projecting to be an above-average or plus hitter. His right-handed swing is smooth and quick, and given his frame, he could develop above-average or better power down the road. Despite his size, there's a decent chance he will stick at shortstop, at least early in his big-league career. Pratt will make his full-season debut this year after hitting .356 with four steals and a 20.4 K% in 12 games in the Arizona Complex League last summer. Read Past Outlooks
