Video of Hansen's curve from tonight:

 

Hansen K

That's just not fair to the hitter, lol. Funny thing, according to pipeline his Slider is even better which neither is rated as good as his fastball. So much potential it's crazy.

Extremely exciting numbers there.

 

My guess is that Kopech will be called up to AAA when Lopez is called up to MLB on Friday. Just as Lopez pretty much has nothing left to prove in AAA, Kopech has nothing left to prove in AA.

The Kopech issue is the innings pitched. I'd actually be fine with his season ending soon. Don't really care if he makes it to AAA or not this year.

Yeah, at this point there's no point to moving him up. He'd get a few starts in AAA, which is barely enough to settle into the level. The only thing I could see is if they want to kind of shut him down, and have him work long stints out of the pen in AAA. Also, not really seeing the point in that either.

I made a post couple weeks ago about how I struggled to put Kopech at that top-top level until I could see him just have good command for a single outing. I pointed out that he'd yet to have a single start with fewer than 2 walks and several other ugly walk-related numbers. Since then, in his 4 starts he's had 0, 2, 0, and 1 walks in 8, 6, 7, and 7 innings to go with 8, 12, 8, and 11 strikeouts.

Yeah, hopefully something clicked. It would get so much more difficult at the upper levels if he coudln't through strikes. If he has turned a corner? Oh my.
