He is a career .284 hitter with more than 2,300 at-bats in the minors, all as an outfielder in the St. Louis farm system. He has 76 career home runs and 356 runs batted in with a .358 on-base percentage.
 
This summer with Memphis, he was hitting .253 with three home runs and 33 RBIs, including a walkoff RBI single in the 11th inning of a game on July 5.
 
He was named a post-season all-star in the AAA International League after his 2024 season with the Memphis Redbirds.
 
Koperniak also played in 2023 and 2026 in the World Baseball Classic for Great Britain, the land of his birth.
