WTM’S PIRATE PLAYER PROFILES |
| Coursel was a reliever for Florida Atlantic, posting a 2.73 ERA and a 30:10 K/BB ratio in 33 innings during his senior year. He only pitched for Florida Atlantic for two years, after transferring from St. Pete College. His junior year didn’t go well, with a 6.00 ERA in 27 innings, and a 24:12 K/BB ratio. The Pirates drafted him as a college senior and he signed shortly after the draft.
2016 Pitching out of the bullpen in Bristol, Coursel struggled to keep runners off base; he allowed a .412 OBP to opposing hitters. The ERA is a little misleading, as over a third of the runs he allowed were unearned. Coursel will probably go to Morgantown or back to Bristol in 2017. |
