The Dodgers’ relief pitcher, Michael Kopech, has exceeded expectations this season with his transformational approach. After being acquired from the White Sox in a trade, Kopech underwent a significant change in his pitching style, focusing on a slider instead of his former fastball. This adjustment has led to impressive results, with Kopech recording a 1.52 ERA and 13.4 strikeouts per nine innings. His newfound success has been a crucial addition to the Dodgers’ bullpen as they make a push for the playoffs.
