Dannymauri Coppa
Starting Pitcher | Paris Isotopes
Pitching He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. Coppa can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. Coppa also has a decent changeup. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. His move to first base continues to be erratic, resulting in poor throws at times. Coppa is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Coppa has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Paris Isotopes have been known to use Coppa as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2014 Outlook Coppa flat-out isn't ready for this level of competition. Expect the Paris Isotopes to send him down promptly. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Coppa.
