Chicago White Sox Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 What’s the deal with his slider? I noticed on Statcast earlier today that his whiff rate is down significantly vs. last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFutureIsNear Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Kopech needs to figure out how to have full feel of his stuff early in the game. He’s been consistently struggling in the 1st inning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulie4Pres Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 The Sox should just keep hitting ground balls. That's a great approach in Coors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjusttyped Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 The swing & chase rates against it are basically identical to last season, which makes me think it's not a tipping issue. The velocity is up, but his swinging strike rate with it is 7.8% which is as bad as you'll ever see for a slider. https://www.fangraphs.com/players/michael-kopech/17282/pitch-type-splits?position=P&data=pi&pitchtype=SL 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he just played average defense at 3B he would probably still be playing regularly, assuming his bat stayed productive. But he had a -6 OAA in his brief time at 3B. It's weird cause I don't think his defense was that bad in 2021. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brijames1957 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Kopech needs to learn how to pitch just like Cease had to learn. Sox have to hit tonight. Everybody scorers runs against the Rockies especially in Colorado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
