Michael Kopech Likely Headed For Mid-July Call-Up
7 years agoChicago White Sox starting pitching prospect Michael Kopech is likely headed for a mid-July call-up to the majors, according to the Daily Herald's Scot Gregor. Kopech, 22, has been pitching this season for Triple-A Charlotte in the International League. Kopech has made seven starts for Charlotte, posting an 0-2 record with a 4.86 ERA. However, he's been unlucky, as evidenced by his 3.59 FIP. Kopech has great strikeout stuff, as shown by his 11.9 K/9 ratio this season, but he still has an opportunity to work on his control, as he's currently averaging 4.6 walks per nine innings. Given this news, Kopech might be worthy of a stash in deeper redraft leagues. He's a dynasty league stud.
