Copenhaver

6/13/17 - H-1B: 4.97, Position Velocity: 69, Exit Velocity: 80, Pop Time: 2.04-2.18
6’2, 190-pound, RHH has a pretty athletic frame that seems to have matured even since seeing him at our East Tennessee Preseason Preview back in January.  Copenhaver begins from a wide and open stance and uses a longer stride with some rhythm in his hands to get loaded. He likes to pull the ball and showed a flat bat path through the zone.  His lower half works well and keeps him strong and balanced throughout.  Defensively, Copenhaver is a little disconnected in his low exchange, but still seems to get the ball out pretty quickly through a ¾ arm slot and short arm action.  His footwork is solid and he seems to have a good feel for the position through his actions.  Copenhaver threw a couple of runners out and finished 3-5 with a double in game play.

6-foot-2, 190-pound, RHH hits from a wider and slightly open stance with a slight waggle with his hands before the pitch, uses a short stride and a push back of his hands to get loaded, lower half gets through and creates some separation but does pull him a little taller, swing plane is steep through the zone and contact, pull approach did barrel up a lot.  Defensively, showed above-average hands and relatively quick feet behind the plate, didn’t quite get front side closed and loaded before throwing to the bag, arm action is short through a higher ¾ slot.
