Oh, Ye of Little Faith

Seems like I just needed to wait one more day for Michael Kopech to speak. The young right hander faced the media via Zoom yesterday, and the 24-year old sounded pretty reflective for someone drafted straight out of high school, a Texas high school, no less. Kopech spoke in measured tones, like someone who’d been through stuff he’d rather not share. What struck me most was his comment, “I think I learned I need this game a lot more than I realized.” Amen to that for all of us. Then, I got to thinking: Kopech, Lucas Giolito, Dylan Cease, Garrett Crochet. This could be really interesting. I hope.
