EDGE Analysis

It was another night of wresting command for the right-handed Kopech, who threw just 49 of his 89 pitches for strikes. He's walked at least four batters in each of the last four games, pitching into the sixth inning just once during that stretch, and ha walked 6.2 BB/9 overall. Kopech's strikeouts are as advertised, fanning 11.8 K/9, but the organization anticipated something better than a 5.08 ERA. As such, Kopech was not among a flurry of promotions the team announced Thursday.
