maxjusttyped Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 That entire inning belongs on Pitching Ninja. Kopech is so talented it's outrageous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxjusttyped Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 The spin rate on Kopech's fastball is up slightly, likely because this is the hardest he's thrown all year. His combination of velocity and natural spin has to be in the 99th percent tile of baseball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's interesting to me to see which of the ~95th percent tile or higher guys aren't seeing their spin rates crater. Kopech is one of the few I've noticed so far. That again just reinforces how naturally gifted he is as a pitcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpringfieldFan Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 (edited) Remember in the '05 World Series when Jenks came in for the first time and the parayzed look on Bagwell's face which was absolutely lost trying to make sense of what he was seeing? Kopech could be the starting pitching version of that should we get there this year. Edited July 10, 2021 by SpringfieldFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
