Looking back, Kopech understands that he needs to focus on executing his pitches consistently if he wants to prevent similar outcomes in future games.
Moving forward, Kopech will use this experience as a learning opportunity to improve his performance on the mound. He knows that maintaining focus and executing pitches effectively are critical components of success, especially in high-pressure situations. By doing so, he hopes to continue developing and growing as a pitcher while also contributing more positively to his team’s success.
