New White Sox Prospect Michael Kopech Dating Reality TV Star Brielle Biermann
By The Big Lead
Pitcher Michael Kopech was one of four prospects the White Sox received from the Red Sox in exchange for ace starter Chris Sale on Tuesday. In analyzing the trade, Baseball Prospectus wrote of Kopech, who can throw up to 105 MPH, that he “has the raw stuff of a front-line starter, but the question is how much he can refine his pitchability and control to challenge big-league hitters with raw power that’s about as good as it gets.”
As Busted Coverage noted, Kopech is dating Brielle Biermann, who is the daughter of Real Housewife of Atlanta Kim Zolciak. The mother, daughter, and former Falcons and Bills linebacker Kroy Biermann — who married Zolciak in 2011; Brielle, who was Zolciak’s daughter from a previous relationship, took his last name — star on the Bravo reality show Don’t Be Tardy.
