Modern Love: Twitter brings @MichaelKopech5 and @VanessaMorgan together

White Sox pitching prospect Michael Kopech and actress Vanessa Morgan met in the most 2018 way possible.

“She found me on Instagram,” Kopech told the Tribune. “And then she followed me on Twitter. When a verified account follows you, you get a notification. So I got one and instantly followed her back and messaged her a few days later.”

A grinning Kopech added: “This shows how our generation works.”

Kopech and Morgan also used social media to put the official stamp on their relationship. Morgan posted a short video on July 4 showing the cozy pair enjoying fireworks in Charlotte, where he pitches for the White Sox’s Triple-A team.
