Coppin State

As you may have checked, they certainly have room for improvement:

Coppin State Stats

Besides their 0-44 record last year...

They have an RPI of 293
And the average run difference was -12.6

Over the past eighteeen seasons the program is 178-565. The most games won in a season is 21. The second winningest pitcher in the history of the program had twelve career wins.

It's very peculiar the team only had twelve players last season. Maybe almost no one wants to play there. Every pitcher was also a position player. They have a new coach with no college coaching background other than being an assistant many years ago and coaching a college summer ball team.

Baseball is a matched set with softball. The softball team went 0-27 with the average score of 14-1. At 0-44 I guess you could say the program is on the way up. It can't go down.

I always say, if you have skills and you want to play at the next level, you can find a place. It may not be in the area or the level you chose, but there are places and you may be able to excel and even be a major contributor.

Copin State's coach of previous years left and when he left everyone he recruited left as well and that is why they only had twelve players last year. Their new coach is good and should be decent in future i just wonder how long it will take. It is almost like they are starting from scratch.

I randomly clicked on a few teams on their sports website. They were awful in every sport I checked. They used to be decent in basketball, but stink now. I'd have to question the commitment to athletics at the school.

I don't wish to talk bad about any program or their coach, however I'm not sure the School is in support of the program, that is the biggest concern I have heard from previous and existing players. From what I hear, (let's make sure we know these are not my words), they are cutting back games from 56 to 44 or so, they are also cutting back their budget. Again, Just what I heard, so please do not crucify me. I know nothing about their new coach or the direction they are headed in.

25% less painful

program was going in the right direction under old coach until certain cirumstances prompted his resignation. he went to work for a prominent scouting service and then moved on to a D3.

here is a link that provides tons of insight into state of program including the 50 percent cut of funding:
