Hitting

Cooper Trodler features a dangerous combination of power, contact hitting and strike-zone judgment. He adjusts well to pitching patterns and game situations, which allows him to be productive even when behind in the count, especially when he’s pushing runners over. You’ll also hear a lot of the clichés associated with Trodler given his small size; scrappy, hard-working, and other intangible-oriented descriptions. While they all may be true, Trodler is versatile enough to bat anywhere in the lineup and can also play a little bit too. With his short stroke and great strike-zone discipline he continues to emerge as one of the most patient hitters in the leagues, unafraid to take several pitches before he sees something he likes.

Base-Running & Defense

Cooper Trodler is only a step better than the average runner, but is effective as a base runner when circumstance permits; his abilities to read outfielder’s movement well enough or when he catches the opponent outfielders napping to score from any base with ease. Cooper Trodler is thy game’s most underrated utility players, He doesn’t have much range and doesn’t charge balls in front of him particularly well, but he’s sure handed and comfortable playing either side of the mound. Trodler defense is about average at best.
