## Resource

Michael Kopech was supposed to be one of the most sought-after free agent relief pitchers last offseason. Then ... he disappeared. Kopech didn't sign with any team, and no news had surfaced about his situation ... until now. Bradfo has a wide-ranging conversation with the world champ, who has proven to be one of the most consistently excellent BIB guests. There is talk of Kopech's free agency, what has happened since the end of last season, and how the last few months have changed how Kopech views baseball and pitching. It's an in-depth discussion about the evolution of Kopech and the game he loves to play.
