Last scored matchup
Cooper isn't on today's slate. He was last scored yesterday, away at San Diego Padres on Wednesday, October 7, 2026, where he landed on stolen bases (79.5/100), singles (69.7/100), fantasy points (63.2/100). This page refreshes with new projections as soon as he's back in a lineup.
Recent form
Cooper is 9-for-32 (.281) over his last 10 games, in line with his .283 season line. No hot streak to fade, no slump to buy — the matchup is doing the work in his score, which is the normal case. The full game log is below.
He's a right-handed bat
Cooper hits from the right side, so the platoon math runs the other way from a lefty's. Right-handed bats face right-handed pitching most of the time, meaning his baseline is built against the harder side and a left-handed starter is the upgrade. That's why a righty's score can jump on a day nothing else about the matchup changed. The model weighs his rates against the specific handedness he's drawing rather than a blended season number, which is where a lot of the day-to-day movement in his score comes from.
Floor and ceiling
Cooper has recorded at least one hit in 46 of 75 games he's batted in — 61% — with 18 multi-hit games among them. That's about average — most regulars land somewhere near it.
Home and away
Cooper is hitting .220 at home (26-for-118) and .345 on the road (41-for-119) across the season. That's a real-looking split, and it's the kind of thing that's usually part park and part noise. The model doesn't apply a blanket home-road adjustment — it prices the actual ballpark he's standing in, which is the part that carries signal.
Against San Diego Padres
Cooper is 3-for-11 (.273) against San Diego Padres in our log, over 3 games. Worth knowing, worth not over-reading. 11 at-bats against one club is a tiny sample, and the model treats it as a minor input next to what that pitching staff actually allows to his handedness. Batter-versus-pitcher history is the most quoted number in baseball and one of the least predictive.
His best game in the log
Cooper's biggest night was Tuesday, October 6, 2026 at SD — 2-for-4. That's the ceiling, not the expectation. The projection you'll see on a board is closer to his typical game than his best one, which is the whole point of projecting rather than remembering.
No graded record on him yet
We haven't ranked Cooper a top-20 hitter matchup often enough this season to have a record worth publishing — 3 times so far. He's appeared in 77 graded games, so the log below is real; there just isn't a track record on our calls to show. It'll build here if the matchups start landing his way.
Where he lands across our boards
Cooper was scored on 12 boards in that matchup, and the spread is the interesting part: stolen bases graded 79.5/100 while home runs came in at 15.4/100. Same player, same game, same opposing arm — different questions. A spread that wide usually means the matchup favours one kind of outcome over another, and it's the clearest argument for reading the board that matches what you actually care about.
How the model reads him
Take the name off Cooper and the model still produces the same number, because it's scoring the matchup rather than the player. His splits against this handedness, what the opposing starter and bullpen actually allow, how many plate appearances he's likely to get, the park, the weather, how he's swinging lately. All of it lands on a 0–100 scale against everyone else playing today. We don't publish how it's weighted. We publish every result it produces.
What we'd flag
Three caveats worth carrying. Not every player gets a posted line — book coverage runs to about 87% for confirmed starters, so a blank line is the market's silence, not ours. Lineup changes land late enough to strand a projection published hours earlier. And judging any of this on a single night is meaningless; the model is tuned on hundreds of settled outcomes. For Cooper specifically, we don't have a meaningful graded record on him yet.
