EloyJenkins Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Woah. I knew he was ahead of schedule...but that is outstanding. It's not unheard of for post TJ velocity increases...can you imagine 98-100 being his normal FB velo going forward. Dang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BackDoorBreach Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 That is encouraging. He's good to go for ST right? I'm curious to see how they use him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Ray Ray Run Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Can you imagine how scary a rotation of Cole, Kope, Gio and cease would be. My lord the stuff in that rotation would be historically good. Gio would be the soft tosser in the group lol. Maybe lopez figures it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll have been recovering for a year and a half at that point, so I can't imagine that he won't be at ST. Upper 90s and multiple times at 100 is really encouraging news.

Upper 90s and multiple times at 100 is really encouraging news. If we were in the middle of the season, 12 months out is usually when guys are close to starting a rehab assignment. We're 13.5 months from the surgery for him, so if this was July and not October we'd be talking about him starting in Great Falls sometime soon. Whether his control is all the way back in ST, no way to know as getting that back is a different beast from getting arm strength back. 12 months for pitching, 18 months for full arm recovery and full arm strength - so we're right on track for that.

It would be insane if he actually threw even harder than that. I think the highest I've seen him throw in a game was 101 (although I've heard him hit 102 in Boston's system).

EloyJenkins Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 (edited) I thought He was more in the 96-98 range when called up? Edited October 4, 2019 by EloyJenkins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 "He’s currently pitching in the instructional league down in Arizona and there’s some video of Kopech, who appears to have a new delivery. It looks like Kopech has a similar delivery to Jake Arrieta and Yu Darvish, who both don’t have a full windup even when there are no runners on base. You can see that in the first video, where Kopech only takes a slight step before delivery a pitch." I noticed it, but thought their was a runner on base in the first video. Interesting.

Put $220 million on the table at the winter meetings, a genuinely fair starting point, and you can get it done there. Might have to go a little higher than that to complete it, but the formula isn't that complicated. No one put $330 on the table last year for Harper until the Phillies in February and everyone knew that was roughly the number - beat Stanton's contract. The only team that met with him at the Winter Meetings, the White Sox, dramatically underbid him, so they waited until they got professional franchises to put realistic offers on the table.

Jerksticks Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 (edited) Love the professional franchises dig. I’m one of the bigger FO apologists but even I hope Hahn KW or JR sees that. Like cmon dudes. Let’s be world class. Let’s be the absolute best. The envy of the league. Leave the cubs in the ducking dust once and for all. We have a core that makes theirs look like little league. Foot on the gas time. Edited October 4, 2019 by Jerksticks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dang He could have pitched for the Sox in September, but they didn't feel it was necessary to ramp it up to major league action and then just shut him back down after a few weeks. He will be more than ready by February. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, great strategy. In an open bidding process put your near top offer out there right away. /s Why do you root for a team that's not s professional franchise?
