a 6-5 strikeout machine with late-inning bite
Christian Coppola’s 2026 season at Saint Joseph’s was a legit calling card: a 1.69 ERA, 0.88 WHIP, and 69 strikeouts in 37.1 innings, with 12 of 13 outings in relief and an eye-popping 16.63 K/9 that ranked among the nation’s elite if qualified. He’s a big-bodied, right-handed power arm at 6-5, 230, and he even flashed a nine-pitch immaculate inning in April. If you want a high-octane bullpen weapon who misses bats and can handle leverage, this is your guy.
