His 6'7'' and 240 pound frame allow him to hit 97 on the gun, and his 3/4 arm slot adds deception to his pitchers. He has a curveball that could be an above average pitch, along with a change.

His delivery is reminiscent of Chris Archer: hitchy, but can get his fastball over the plate in the mid 90s. Like Nikorak, Hooper is tall for a senior in high school (6’7”), and uses his height to add to his fastball. His curveball is equally as impressive as his fastball, with huge break to it. Both are considered plus pitches.
