Rocky Coppinger  
Starting Pitcher | Seattle Mariners

Pitching
He's a finesse pitcher, relying on movement and location. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
A quick pickoff move and a slide step prevent runners from stealing bases. He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. Coppinger is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Coppinger has some pop in his swing.

2010 Outlook
I really like what this guy brings to the table.
