This past Monday, White Sox pitcher Michael Kopech posted an update that provided optimism for all White Sox fans. A simple video of him throwing on his Instagram page captioned, “Back throwing & one step closer”. The video, which was a production of Sox TV, showed Kopech throwing very low effort. Though some may not understand the significance, it is likely a day that will go down as one of the best moments of Kopech’s young career.
I’m certain of this because I was in Kopech’s shoes about a year ago. Kopech had his ulnar collateral ligament reconstructed on Sept.
