Expert Note
View More NotesKopech missed all of last year after undergoing Tommy John surgery, so even if he broke camp as a starter, he'd likely have a fairly hard innings cap. But he has incredible raw stuff, with a plus fastball, slider, and changeup, and would be an impact starter if he made the rotation. If you draft him, you'll likely need to stash him for at least a month. But it will likely be worth it if you can do so.
