Milwaukee Brewers rookie shortstop Cooper Pratt is leaning into his Mormon identity as he gains prominence in Major League Baseball, according to the Salt Lake Tribune's Mormon Land newsletter. The column examines how Pratt's abstinence from alcohol — a visible marker of LDS practice — has become part of his public persona in a sport and city known for beer culture.

The newsletter also covers a satirical piece about why LDS missionaries allegedly love Halloween, playing on cultural stereotypes about Mormon door-knocking and costume-friendly disguises. The combination reflects the newsletter's mix of serious sports coverage and cultural commentary.
