A 6-foot-1, 190-pound lefthander, Coupet racked up plenty of strikeouts as a Friday and Saturday starter for Ohio State in his 2022 sophomore season. He posted a 5.71 ERA over 64.2 innings and struck out 98 batters—tied for third with Adam Mazur in the Big Ten—but also walked 41. Coupet threw his 88-90 mph fastball less than 50% of the time in 2022, and used a heavy dosage of breaking balls, including a low-70s curve and an upper-70s slider, both of which have high spin rates in the 2,800 rpm range. Coupet has a mid-80s changeup but has rarely used it.
