The Chicago White Sox are finally bringing another one of their top prospects to the big leagues.
On Sunday, the team tweeted that top pitching prospect Michael Kopech would be called up to make his MLB debut on Tuesday against the Minnesota Twins.

Considered one of the top 20 prospects in baseball, Kopech has a 3.70 ERA and 170 strikeouts in 129 innings for Triple-A Charlotte this season. He was one of the prizes of the Chris Sale trade, and has been known for being able to post some pretty impressive velocities on the radar gun. With the White Sox well out of the race and in the middle of a rebuild, they apparently feel that the 22-year-old is ready to show what he has to offer at the Major League level.
