veteran McNeese righty with big-moment experience and a heavy-workload profile
In the 2026 season, Paul Coppinger has been a usable midweek/relief arm for McNeese, working in multiple roles and logging key innings, including a win over Southeastern and late-inning shutdown work against Northwestern State.[2][9][12] His 2025 numbers show the shape of the pitcher: 28.2 innings, a 3.45 ERA, 25 strikeouts, and only 8 walks, which points to a strike-thrower rather than a pure power arm.[8] He fits teams that value competitiveness, flexibility, and a senior who has already been through the grind; he’s less about flash, more about giving you a real chance every time he takes the ball.[1][3][6]
