Taylor Kopshaw  
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. Kopshaw can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. His composure needs work. When Kopshaw starts getting hit, he gets mad and loses concentration. You know, some times I think I can throw harder than Kopshaw, and that's saying a lot. He's almost as effective against righthanders as he is versus lefthanders.

Defense & Hitting
His slow delivery makes him fairly easy to steal upon, but Kopshaw helps himself by holding runners with throws to first, and with slide steps and varied deliveries to home. Kopshaw is nothing special in the field. Kopshaw is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Kopshaw has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Kopshaw as a pinch-runner on occasion.
