2024 Player Outlook

2023 Recap: A big emphasis for the White Sox’ pitching coaches is getting Michael Kopech back on track after he led the AL in walks (91) and surrendered 29 home runs during a horrible 2023 campaign. Kopech has been in the White Sox organization for almost seven years now as his acquisition from Boston in the Chris Sale trade signaled the White Sox rebuild officially kicking off. Kopech, who lost it in his second season as a starter and, besides leading the league in walks, he ended the season with a career-high 5.43 earned run average. 

2024 Outlook: He enters this spring on a clean slate and early returns are that he is in his best physical shape since 2021 as he entered camp 20 pounds lighter than last season. This is still a talented pitcher and a bounce back season could be in the cards for Michael Kopech.
