Walker Buehler, the 24-year-old pitching phenom, owned the Red Sox in Game 3. His road to the World Series is paving the way for the White Sox own young pitching phenom – Michael Kopech.
Buehler and Kopech have several similarities. So, in a way, White Sox fans who were watching Buehler dominate the best hitters in baseball were seeing what the Sox will have when Kopech returns in 2020.
Buehler may look like he’s fresh out of high school, but the mature young pitcher is actually 24 years old. He was originally drafted out of high school, but chose to attend college at Vanderbilt instead.
