Cooper Johnson

I am excited and proud to say that I am now committed to Purdue University to continue my academic and athletic career. There are too many people to thank for helping me get here, but a special thanks to my parents, family, teammates and Coach Brian Forystek, Coach Eric Welsh, Coach Bill Copp and Coach John McCarthy. #BoilerUp #Compete #HardWorkStartsNow @PurdueBaseball @LWEastBaseball @ChicagoELITE18u @ericwelsh23 @batflipthis @bserrato37 @PrepBaseballIL @PG_Illinois

Cooper Johnson (‘27, IL) registers another hard hit ball to the opposite field. This time it’s a single through the 1B/2B gap, driving in a run #PurdueCommit #FallChampionship
