5 years agoChicago White Sox starting pitcher Michael Kopech (elbow) showed great velocity in his return to the mound on Tuesday. Kopech, 23, is returning from Tommy John surgery, but looked stellar on Tuesday. Throwing 11 pitches, Kopech hit over 100 mph on six of them. Kopech was one of the top pitching prospects before being injured and is expected to begin the year in Triple-A. With the White Sox ready to compete in 2020, it shouldn’t be long until Kopech is making an impact for the team. Owners should be excited for his strikeout potential, and his ceiling makes him a strong pick later in drafts, but there is a good chance that his innings will be limited.--Daniel Burdeen - RotoBaller
