The two most impressive parts of Michael Kopech’s debut

No walks.

That, for me, was the most impressive stat delivered Tuesday by the event formerly known as Michael Kopech.

No compatible source was found for this media.

Kopech kept the Twins scoreless even after their first two hitters reached base in the first inning of his major-league career, and the four strikeouts were terrific, especially getting Joe Mauer looking, but, to paraphrase Jackson Brown, nobody rode for free.

Yeah, Kopech pitched only two innings before rain created a 52-minute delay that ended his night, so he didn’t have many chances to walk guys.
