Dodgers’ Kopech Finds New Life After Immaculate Inning

Michael Kopech, the new Dodgers reliever, found a renewed sense of confidence and form before joining the Los Angeles team. His performance peaked in a July 10 outing against the Minnesota Twins, where he achieved the 114th immaculate inning in Major League Baseball history. This impressive feat, a three-pitch strikeout of three batters, marked a turning point in Kopech’s season. The Dodgers saw potential in his recent upward trajectory and traded for him, adding him to their already strong bullpen. Kopech, known for his powerful fastball and slider, has embraced his new role in Los Angeles, contributing to the team’s success in their playoff chase.
