1.11.15 - Thick bodied, 6-foot-1, 230-pound right-handed pitcher with a solid lower half. Delivery works online, excellent balance, keeps head up and eyes level throughout; slight coil at top of balance point with slight open toed landing and athletic finish. Arm action is quick and loose, works with a short stroke and high ¾ slot. Fastball has slight tail in the zone, found the zone regularly good control, occasionally misses up and arm side, ranged 85-89 mph, showed the ability to maintain velocity from the stretch. Curveball worked on 11/5 plane, showed good short action, mostly 71 mph, touched 74, good control, well above average pitch, potential for power curveball. Excellent feel for changeup, sinking action, 76-81 mph, showed advanced control of the pitch, deceptive arm action. Kopp showed a well above average three pitch mix with feel for all three and the ability to consistently pound the zone. Has mature build but fresh arm, like his projection to throw harder as he gets more innings under his belt.
