Michael Kopech ushered in 2020 with a wedding.
The White Sox pitcher married "Riverdale" actress Vanessa Morgan on Saturday in Homestead, Fla., according to E! News.
"We both knew the first day we met that 'this is it' and I'm so excited that today officially starts our forever," Morgan told E! News. "Today, I vowed to love my best friend for a lifetime and it was a day spent with those we love in a room filled with endless love. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with him."
The two first connected via Twitter. They got engaged last July.
Kopech went 1-1 with a 5.02 ERA in four starts in 2018 before undergoing elbow reconstruction surgery on Sept. 18, 2018.
The right-hander missed all of the 2019 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery.
In September, he told reporters: "I am about as ready as I can be. I've done everything I can to prepare. It's been a long time coming I feel like. But yeah, I feel ready to go, ready for next spring."
Kopech, 23, expected to contribute at some point this season to a rotation that recently added free-agent pitchers Gio Gonzalez and 2015 AL Cy Young Award winner Dallas Keuchel.
