The White Sox rookie right-handed pitcher’s surgery was on Tuesday, September 18, in Los Angeles. His surgeon was Dr. Neal ElAttrache. The White Sox announced the surgery on the team website on Wednesday.
According to the Sox, the surgery was successful and Kopech should be back to pitch in Spring Training in 2020.
All the waiting
Even though Kopech was not drafted by the White Sox, it feels as if fans have been waiting for several years for him to permanently join the team. He was actually a Red Sox first-round draft pick in 2014 when he was only 18 years old.
