2024 Fantasy Outlook
Cooper appeared in a career-high 123 games last season between Miami and San Diego. He spent time on the injured list with an ear infection but was able to stay mostly healthy in 2023 -- something he has struggled with throughout his career. For the season, he hit .324/.375/.529 against left-handed pitching compared to just .228/.281/.384 against righties. His splits are not as pronounced for his career, but at 33 years old, Cooper may be best suited for short-side platoon duty between first base and designated hitter. A surprise All-Star with the Marlins in 2022, Cooper saw his strikeout rate jump to 28.9 percent last season while his walk rate dipped for the second straight year. Now in camp with the Cubs as a non-roster invitee to spring training, Cooper will look to secure a role with a strong showing in the Cactus League. He has enough in his bat to be passable in fantasy, but only when he's seeing regular playing time. Read Past Outlooks
Added to roster
The Cubs selected Cooper's contract from Triple-A Iowa on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Cooper posted a .927 OPS with three long balls this spring to secure a spot on the Cubs' Opening Day roster. He figures to mostly play against lefties but offers an option at designated hitter and will also provide protection at first base for Michael Busch.

Stat Review
How does Garrett Cooper compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Backup option for Red Sox
The Red Sox could be interested in Cooper to serve as depth in their outfield, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.
ANALYSIS
Boston is a finalist to sign Adam Duvall to add to its depth in the outfield, though the Angels are also reportedly in the running. If Duvall lands elsewhere, the Red Sox could pivot to Cooper, who has maintained a 120 wRC+ across 471 plate appearances against left-handed pitching. That would make him a solid fit in a short-side platoon role and balance an otherwise lefty-heavy outfield in Boston.

2019
2018
Cooper received a career-high 469 plate appearances last season, and the results were more or less what you'd expect: an above-average overall performance at the plate, but not one to write home about. Cooper hit .261/.337/.415 and managed a modest nine homers, though accounting for the league-wide drop in offense as well as the tough hitting environment in Miami gives him a respectable 115 wRC+. His underlying numbers also represented more of the same. His 25.4 K% was above-average but not particularly worrisome, especially as he hit the ball hard (10.7% barrel rate) when he did make contact. It all adds up to a perfectly capable hitter, but not one who's going to excite fantasy players. While playing time should be there now that Jesus Aguilar is gone, it's unlikely another level is coming in Cooper's age-32 season. He also has durability concerns, lowering the floor for a player who's otherwise far more interesting for his floor than his ceiling.
