Cooper Hjerpe | Fantasy Outlook

Cooper Hjerpe flashes strikeout upside but remains limited to long relief

Hjerpe burst onto the scene in early September with four perfect relief frames in his debut, but he has since encountered growing pains, posting a 6.00 ERA across nine big-league innings. The fourth-place Cardinals sit at 76-80 and are already eliminated from postseason contention, allowing them to evaluate the young southpaw as a long-relief option rather than pushing him into the rotation.

Our data highlights glaring extremes under the hood, as his 12 strikeouts in nine innings reflect elite bat-missing upside offset by six walks and a 1.11 overall WHIP. His recent two-week stretch was especially rocky with a 2.00 WHIP, proving that his lack of command poses significant ratio danger until his strike-throwing stabilizes.

St. Louis finishes the week on the road with matchups against Pittsburgh and division-leading Milwaukee, but Hjerpe is completely absent from the probable starter ledger. With five other starters locking down turns and no bulk assignments guaranteed, he lacks both innings volume and fantasy viability for the week ahead. Sit.
