[Scouting Report] Ben Copeland
Rnd: 4
Player: Ben Copeland
Position: of
School: U. of Pittsburgh
Scouting Report:
Copeland put himself on the map with a big 2004 season. He set Pitt school
records with 63 runs and 37 stolen bases and enjoyed an all-star summer in
the Cape Cod League. With the Northeast portion of the country almost devoid
of premium position prospects this year, he got more exposure than he may
have otherwise, but it may have worked against him in a series against St.
John’s when scouts saw him get overmatched by Craig Hansen and Anthony
Varvaro, that school’s premium arms. He struck out several times and went on
to strike out 47 times in 219 at-bats—a high number for a leadoff hitter.
Overall, he hit .384-9-47 with 29 stolen bases and broke his own school
record with 65 runs. Copeland has a live, athletic body. He’s not a burner,
yet his best tool is his speed, which he uses instinctively on the bases and
in center field. He didn’t play baseball his senior year of high school
because of an injury and has shown his greatest improvement in three years in
college at the plate, driving balls to the gap and using the whole field. He
has a line drive stroke with emerging power and hands that are quick to the
ball. He projects as a third- or fourth-rounder.
