ron883 Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 (edited) Was Kopech absolute garbage all last year and I just didn't notice? Pitchers get shelled on occasion. It happens. I'm just surprised so many are absolutely done with him and want Davis Martin up already... Kopech still has dominant stuff.

That 83 mph slider on the inner half would be hit out by most college players. His command has never been good enough to get by with average stuff.

South Side Fireworks Man Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Kopech was supposed to be a 99+ fastball pitcher. He's just not that good at 94 - 95. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox59 Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Welp, that outing aged like a piece of cheese in the sun. Oh well. Go get em next time, Michael. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capn12 Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Tipping? Why would you think that? His fastball has been average, and EVERY offspeed pitch is churning right down the middle. Don't really have to be tipping, when those 2 things are both true. Neither type of pitch is challenging to hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And after the knee issues, his stuff deteriorated to this point. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Line Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Kopech has good stuff (had?) but he’s a total headcase and that will never change. He falls apart at the first sign of adversity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitoMB345 Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 kopech wasn't one of the sticky stuff guys right? the last 3 years have been a blur, i can't remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember how great his stuff looked in ST the game he was supposed to go one inning, and then he looked awful in the games he was expected to go multiple innings.

I can't imagine everyone being that confident and taking that good of swings off him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
