After an offseason of rest and several weeks of building arm strength, starting pitchers often hit the wall in the middle of spring training and have to crank it back up for the regular season.
But White Sox prospect Michael Kopech, who had his first poor Cactus League outing last week, doesn’t believe in that theory.
“As far as I know, I don’t have a wall,” he said.
Kopech will be back on a mound Tuesday at Camelback Ranch, pitching to Sox hitters on a back field on the team’s only day off from spring training.
