The Chicago White Sox continued their search for hitters on Day two of the MLB Draft. In total, the organization added four position players, all of whom have great bats. Nick Hostetler, director of amateur scouting, told reporters, including Scott Merkin, Tuesday the goal was to take as many power hitters as possible.
"“What we did is go down the whole home run total and said let’s take them all. One of them is going to hit them.” Nick Hostetler, Director of Amateur Scouting"
