Mississippi State Commit. 6 foot 2, 190 pounds. This defensive wizard is one of the best defenders in the country without question. The footwork, hands, exchange, and arm all work effortlessly with precise balance and timing. His range factor is legit and he gets a solid mark in that department with instincts & reads rather than speed. Cupp is able to redirect momentum well on backhands+forehands, and he has an innate feel for changing arm angles. There’s no throw he can't make, and he always seems to make the right decision. His silky smooth hands stop bad hops in their tracks. Don’t blink, because his exchange is so quick you’ll miss it. Defense isn’t the only place he shows rare fluidity, it's at the plate as well. Dylan’s dynamic lower half and one piece swing fit well with his gap to gap approach. He’s at his best using the advanced inside out swing to hit lasers from right center to the middle of the field. With his pitch recognition, bat to ball skills, and ability to work counts, he’s a perfect No. 2 hitter. Plenty of physical ceiling left here.

6/09/22

SS Dylan Cupp’s (Cedartown HS, GA) value extends far beyond pure tools, as his makeup and moxie stand out even more, providing a boost to his all-around game. Lean and long at 6-foot-2, 190-pounds, there is natural strength throughout a highly athletic frame. The true shortstop has a commanding presence on the diamond, and utilizes crisp footwork and confident hands in looking the part of a future advanced defender at shortstop. Setting up with a wider base in a slight crouch from the right side, Cupp’s hands load somewhat deeper, down and back with a late barrel tilt before quickly working through the zone. There is some directness in the path, with the barrel working short-to-long, and a noticeable ability to cover the plate including firm contact to the opposite field. Cupp went 5-for-12 on the week, reaching base more than half the time, and looked the part of an elite player in the class. Never sped up, Cupp slows the game down on both sides of the ball, and given the hand/bat speed that he showcased at the NPI Procase, there is reason to believe that his power development is only just beginning.

2/01/22

The 6-foot-2, 180-pounder is the gold standard in the class when it comes to defensive ability. Cupp makes everything look easy and effortless. He showed quick and instinctive footwork. At the plate, the driving power continues to develop as he had a peak exit velocity of 94.8, while hitting the sweet spot at a 73% clip.

PBR Cup

Cupp didn’t have a loud weekend at the plate, but it’s easy to see why he’s the No. 1 shortstop. Athletic and projectable at 6-foot-2, 180 pounds, everything comes easy to the Mississippi State recruit. He has a simple, fluid swing from the right side to go with athletic actions and a strong arm on defense.

4/08/21

Mississippi State commit. 6-foot-2, 180-pound right-handed hitting shortstop, lanky, athletic build, adding more and more strength to frame each time we see him. Bat continues to trend upwards and has turned into a real weapon this spring. In the first game of the Battle of Bartow vs Cartersville, drove two balls into the gap for triples.  Shows patience at the plate, does not try to force the issue. On the base paths, is a constant threat to steal, consistently gets good jumps. A natural defensively, makes every play look easy.

2/22/20

Mississippi State commit. 6-foot-1, 170-pound right-handed hitting middle infielder, athletic, projectable build, continues to grow and fill out his lanky frame. This spring, through multiple views, Cupp has taken a primarily line drive, pull approach, hammering the baseball through the left side of the infield and into left field. A top of the order bat, he is always competitive at the plate and routinely takes quality at-bats. Defensively, as advanced as they come, superior range to both sides, steals hits, arm works athletically and is strong enough to make throws across the infield of his back foot and in the hole. Hopped on the mound for a brief relief appearance, arm worked short and loose from a ¾ to low ¾ slot. Fastball sat 83-85 with armside life.

5/06/19

6-foot-1, 165-pound frame, long, lean build, high-waisted athlete with plenty of room for physical development. Looks to be a high-level national prospect, one that has advanced present abilities and high-ceiling upside. Possesses loose, fluid hands, natural instincts; makes the game look easy yet plays hard. Advanced defender; soft, easy hands, plays extremely well on the move; fields the ball with natural rhythm and gets it out front. Sure-handed. Present arm strength and accurate with the ability to throw from multiple angles. Offensively, right-handed hitter and bats leadoff. Calm, quiet and relaxed in the box. Tracks pitches well, seldom chases; advanced strike zone awareness. Advanced rhythm in load, seemingly on time with everything. Swing is loose and low-maintenance; generates above-average bat speed. Line-drive approach, middle-out; high-level hand-eye athlete. Seemingly on-base all tournament long, either by hit or walk; swiped second and scored, repeat and rinse. Long, fluid strider, will grow into his foot speed. … On the mound, came in relief and threw well. Fastball ranged 81-83 mph, mostly straight. Changeup is a solid offering, 74-76, throws it aggressively and has arm-side fade. Arm works free and easily, longer draw in the back, athletic out front. Overall, Cupp looks to be a premium national-caliber athlete who should be highly coveted in the coming years.
