Michael Kopech, after being traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers from the Chicago White Sox, experienced notable success as a high-leverage reliever with a 1.13 ERA. He became a World Series champion while contributing to the postseason. However, 2025 has brought challenges, as he started the season on the injured list with a shoulder injury, and during his rehab, he struggled significantly with command, failing to strike out any batters in his first appearance. This inconsistency has been a recurring theme throughout his career.
Kopech's command issues have historically plagued him, and despite his overwhelming talent, it remains the reason for the inconsistency seen throughout his career.
Kopech's recent performance in rehab, where he faced five batters and walked them all, highlights the ongoing struggle with command that has hindered his effectiveness.
