Coquillette attended Casa Roble High School in Sacramento County, California where, in 1992, he was named first team all-city by the Sacramento Bee along with Derrek Lee and Geoff Jenkins.[1] He played one season of college baseball at Sacramento City College in 1993[2] before being drafted by the Montreal Expos in the tenth round of the 1993 Major League Baseball Draft.[3] Coquillette was assigned to the Gulf Coast Expos to begin his professional career in 1993.[4] On September 7, 1998, he was called up to the Major Leagues along with Ted Lilly, Carl Pavano and Fernando Seguignol.[5] He made his debut that day against the Colorado Rockies at Olympic Stadium. He started at third base and was hitless in three at bats.[4][6] Coquillette would appear in 17 games for the Expos that season and 34 games the following year.
