Cooper Thacker is a right-handed pitcher with a lively fastball from Ellettsville, Indiana playing in his debut season for the Leesburg Storm. Thacker was a three-sport athlete in high school, lettering in baseball, basketball and tennis. Upon graduation in 2019, he was ranked as the #30 overall right hander in all of Indiana, which caused schools to take notice. Cooper ultimately decided on the University of Southern Indiana as the place to continue his baseball aspirations, and opted to redshirt for the 2020 season. His ability to throw all of his pitches for strikes makes him a key arm on the Storm’s staff.
