The Los Angeles Dodgers' bullpen has been heavily used, leading to several injuries among pitchers. They acquired Michael Kopech, who has shown remarkable performance since joining.
Kopech has recorded seven straight scoreless appearances, demonstrating dominant stats with a 19:2 strikeout-to-walk ratio, raising questions about him stepping into the closer role.
Manager Dave Roberts has left the possibility open for Kopech as closer, indicating the team is evaluating their options given Evan Phillips' struggles.
Kopech's ability to effectively pitch to both left and right-handed hitters makes him a prime candidate to become a leading reliever for the Dodgers.
