Cooper Hjerpe Steady At Double-A Since Earning Promotion
4 months agoSt. Louis Cardinals starting pitching prospect Cooper Hjerpe has remained steady since moving up to Double-A in early June. Through his first 14 ⅔ innings (four starts) the southpaw has held a solid 3.07 ERA, 0.95 WHIP, and an 8:20 BB:K ratio. Earlier this season at High-A, he posted a 3.35 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, and a 20:56 BB:K ratio across 37 innings. While the sample size is small, the former first-round pick has raised his walk rate and ground ball through his first stint at Double-A, which is something to monitor going forward. Hjerpe is considered the seventh-best prospect in the St. Louis system on MLB.com and remains on track to reach the majors in 2025.
