Signed as a nondrafted free agent out of Louisiana State in 2001, Corcoran rocketed through the system. He started 2003 in high Class A and was called up to Montreal in late July, giving up one run in five big league appearances. While he lacks the size scouts desire in a pitcher, his arm action is so quick it looks like he is throwing harder than he actually is. Corcoran has a heavy 91-92 mph fastball, good command and a knack for keeping the ball down in the strike zone. His tight 78-80 mph curveball is a second plus pitch that rates as a 65 on the 20-80 scouting scale. His changeup lags behind his other two pitches, but isn't as crucial in a relief role. Corcoran is a candidate to return to the big league bullpen in 2004.
