Dave Joppie

David Joppie (born December 11, 1965) is an American professional baseball coach and minor league manager.

Joppie is a former Lakewood High School graduate, Aquinas College baseball player and men's college basketball official. He worked games in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association and Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference for almost 20 years, deciding to retire from officiating after the 2009–2010 basketball season to concentrate exclusively on baseball.

In 1995 Joppie joined the Oakland Athletics organization as the hitting coach of the Double-A Huntsville Stars for two seasons. He went on to coach Class A+ Modesto A's (1997), then returned with Huntsville (1998) before joining Class A+ Visalia Oaks (1999).

In his first season with the Cougars, Joppie guided them to a first-place finish in the Midwest League West Division with a record of 83-56 (.597), but lost the final series to the West Michigan Whitecaps. At the end of the season, he was named both Midwest League Manager of the Year and Baseball America's Class Low-A Minor League Manager of the Year. In 2005, his team finished with a mark of 70-69 (.504) and failed to secure a playoff berth.

He continued his success as a hitting coach upon coming to Double-A Portland Sea Dogs in 2008, where he guided the team to the best on-base percentage in the 12-team Eastern League in his first season (.351) and in 2010 (.347). In 2019, he was named the hitting coach for the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers.
