Garrett Nicholas Cooper is a 6’6″, 230 lb. first baseman and outfielder from Manhattan Beach, California. Born on Christmas Day, 1990, Cooper played high school ball at Loyola in Los Angeles, and originally played his college ball with El Camino College.
Eventually, Cooper joined Auburn University, and was later drafted in the sixth round of the 2013 MLB Amateur Draft by the Milwaukee Brewers. After coming to terms with them for a $30,000 bonus, he worked his way up through their system until mid-2017. That’s when the New York Yankees sent Tyler Webb in exchange for Cooper’s services.
