Don Cooper likes Carlos Rodon's progress, expects more

Carlos Rodon’s strides in the bullpen are translating to the mound and while Don Cooper is pleased, he knows there is more to be done.

The White Sox pitching coach has seen the team’s prized rookie left-hander make tremendous strides this season, particularly in his routine between starts.

The effort has resulted in more consistency throwing strikes — “he’s getting better,” Cooper said — and he thinks it's good to see Rodon string together a run of starts like he has, especially in August and September. But Cooper believes Rodon can’t — and won’t — let up at this point.
