On Tuesday, August 21, Michael Kopech will make his major league debut for the White Sox in Chicago against the Minnesota Twins.
While Kopech has always been a highly touted prospect and it was expected he’d make it to the big leagues, his journey has taken some interesting roads. In fact, he expected at one point to be wearing a different pair of “Sox” to the game.
Kopech – a native of Mount Highlands, Texas – was originally a first-round draft pick of the Boston Red Sox back in 2014. This came after originally committing to the University of Arizona, though he never played for the Wildcats.
