## Scouting Reports

### Backyard Baseball 2001 and 2003

Chad Koppel

Chad's strength lie in the playing field. He has a nice glove, rated 63/100, and a solid throwing arm, at 86 strength and 84 accuracy. He is also a decent pitcher, with respectable heat (80), slowball (71) and right hook (68) pitches. At the plate, he leaves a lot to be desired. His 64 batting power can hit it to the outfield every now and then, but his awful 1/100 contact results in a lot of pop outs, foul balls, and just plain whiffs.

## League History

### BBL

#### Season 3

Generics were made widely available in Season 3, and Chad was selected 137th overall in the 6th round by coach areyoutyler of the Dodgers. Chad had a decent year at the plate, driving in 22 runs and scoring 22 times himself. He also pitched a few innings.

#### Season 4

With more emphasis on offense around the league, Chad fell in the draft until coach Yurya of the Monsters picked him 185th overall in the 8th round. Chad had a rough season as a hitter, recording the worst batting average on the team, scoring the fewest runs, and striking out the most. However, his calling card was on the mound. He pitched 82 innings and had a sparkling 0.44 ERA to go along with 76 strikeouts. Chad won the Ace Wilson Award that season for his performance.

#### Season 5

The next season, Chad was taken 143rd overall in the 7th round by coach Nate of the Fishes, although jlund24 eventually took over as coach. Chad continued to struggle at the plate. He also did not pitch at all this season despite being the reigning Ace Wilson Award winner.

#### Season 6

Chad was taken 157th overall in the 7th round by coach takenotes011 of the Angels. Despite being one of the worst hitters in the Angels' lineup, he had a pretty good season by his own personal standards. He pitched a bit for the Halos, but he was their first reliever and not their starting pitcher.

#### Season 7

In Season 7, coach Marco of the Yankees took Chad with the 162nd pick in the 7th round. Chad batted a team low 0.385, and only pitched 3 1/3 innings.

#### Season 8

Chad continued to slip in the draft, and he was finally picked 167th overall in the 7th round by coach Eauxps I. Fourgott of the Royals. Chad, like most of the Royals, had a tough season at the plate. Chad's lone RBI came on a surprising solo home run. On the last game of the season, having not pitched so far and with the Royals out of playoff contention, coach Eauxps decided to start Chad on the mound. And he turned in a spectacular performance. He threw a complete game, allowed just one hit, and struck out 5 batters. This great game earned Chad NL Pitcher of the Week for Week 14.

#### Season 9

Chad returned in Season 9, this time drafted 183rd overall in the 8th round by coach shrewsbury91 of the Marlins, although he was eventually traded to the Giants, coached by Itaniium. Chad improved slightly at the plate, batting 0.426 and scoring 8 runs. Notably, he did not pitch at all for the Giants, only the second time in seven seasons he did not do so.

#### Season 10

##### 2001

In Season 10, in the 2001 league, Chad was taken 157th overall in the 8th round by coach Chellow of the Cardinals. Chad was the Cardinals' main pitcher and had his best performance since his Season 4 Ace Wilson Award, pitching 74 2/3 innings with 76 strikeouts and a 0.72 ERA. He helped the Cardinals reach the playoffs.

##### 2003

In the 2003 league, Chad was drafted with the 150th overall pick in the 7th round by coach elchrisblanco of the Fishes. Chad didn't pitch on this team, but he was more productive with the bat than he was in '01, batting 0.569 and driving in 17 runs.

## Trivia

* Chad won the Ace Wilson Award in Season 4 and then did not pitch any innings the next season. The only others to accomplish this are Ace Wilson himself, who was only available for one season, and Tiffany Bosworth, who was not drafted the season after her Ace Wilson win.
