The best fan reactions to Michael Kopech's first Major League start
There was appointment viewing on display on Tuesday night when Michael Kopech -- the 13th-best prospect in Major League Baseball according to MLB Pipeline -- took the hill for his Major League debut.
Known for his three-digit velocity and darting breaking stuff, there was excitement in the baseball air that hasn't been seen since Stephen Strasburg made his debut in 2012.
In his outing, he was everything he was billed to be and more. Though the rain ended his night early -- and the Twins went on to win, 5-2 -- Kopech struck out four batters in two shutout innings, and we are already looking forward to his next start.
