Birmingham - Banks

Kanny - L Martinez

G Falls - Comito

 

DSL white sox won 2-1 from a gem from 2016 signing Jendersson Caraballo.

5.0 IP / 2 BB / 2Ks ERA down to 2.14

 

2015 Signee Brayant Nova 2-4 with a 3b. .284 / .372 / .386 slashline as an 18 year old (soon to be 19)

Not the prettiest first two innings for Kopech. Hopefully he can rebound and put together a solid night.

Luis Martinez already has 4 K's in 3 IP (1 H). Definitely my favorite sleeper for next season.

 

And Gavin Sheets literally just went yard. 2 run shot.

Anyone know what kind of velocity Kopech is featuring tonight?

It's a hell of a first test for him. Norfolk has a lot of ex major league players and a top prospect (Sisco) in their lineup.

Collins RBI single.

 

Gillaspie 2 run bomb.

Great line considering how rough those first two innings were.

Burger's groundball rate is scary. Better hope he learns how to lift

Was my sleeper 2 years ago, but developing very slowly and doesn't have great stuff. Been at the same level for two and a half years now.

I like the this first start from Kopech. Still very young, and was facing some MLB talent out there. Excited for his next start.

2015 - 247 PAs

2016 - 269 PAs

2017 - 474 PAs

 

He has almost literally as many plate appearances this year as he did the previous two seasons combined. He is probably a little fatigued at this point.
