BALLER MOVE: Add in All LeaguesROSTERED IN: 35% of LeaguesANALYSIS: The hard-throwing Michael Kopech has enjoyed success this season as a reliever, after struggling through control issues and home run troubles for much of the 2023 season as a starter for the Chicago White Sox.He has just five saves on the year, but that has a lot more to do with how bad Chicago is this season (they have the fewest wins in MLB) and less to do with how he has pitched.Michael Kopech's Four-Seam Fastball was the ...

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team LeaguesROSTERED IN: 25% of LeaguesANALYSIS: Michael Kopech may be the only truly defined closer on your waiver wire. The starter-turned-reliever has tallied two saves in the past two games by throwing two shutout innings. On the season, he has a 3.66 ERA and 1.22 WHIP with 26 punchouts across 19 innings. The 28-year-old has tallied four saves.Kopech has very strong underlying metrics, which could make him a valuable fantasy asset even without a high saves total. ...

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team LeaguesROSTERED IN: 29% of LeaguesANALYSIS: In 2024, the Chicago White Sox have turned to former starter Michael Kopech as their closer. His stuff profiles much like a typical closer, with a four-seamer that can touch triple digits paired with an 86 mph slider (80% FB usage so far in 2024).Kopech's issue isn't velocity, though; it's throwing his pitches for strikes and his proclivity for giving up the long ball. Last season over 129 1/3 IP, the righty posted a horrid...

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team LeaguesROSTERED IN: 17% of LeaguesANALYSIS: Prior to Tuesday, the White Sox had used a plethora of pitchers in the final inning of their games so far in 2024, including Dominic Leone, John Brebbia, Deivi Garcia, Steven Wilson, and Tim Hill. None were actual save chances, although the game was on the line (tied) in some cases. In the first save opportunity the White Sox had, however, they turned to Michael Kopech for a multi-inning save.Kopech's last outing surely ...

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team LeaguesROSTERED IN: 13% of LeaguesANALYSIS: Michael Kopech is throwing triple-digit heat after being transitioned to the bullpen. Don't go thinking he'll be THE guy because Pedro Grifol has made it clear that he'll throw these relievers wherever he wants.But building up Kopech's trade value with some closing work ahead of the deadline makes sense for the 2024 White Sox. If you're looking for a cheap flier for some potential saves then go ahead and add Kopech to see ...
