The 2022 Major League Baseball Draft is now over and the picks are all in. The Chicago White Sox had a total of twenty picks to make themselves better in the future and they grabbed some interesting players.
Remember that it takes a while for prospects from the draft to develop so we will have to sit back and watch these new guys develop in the Minors before they hopefully make their way to the Major Leagues.
Days two and three for the White Sox were filled with picks from a variety of different positions. The White Sox took a lot of pitchers to start but then sprinkled in a little bit of everything after that. They got a lot of different players in a variety of different positions.
There were a few standout players from this year’s draft that are worth mentioning. Aside from the highly talented first two picks in the draft, there were some great players selected.
The White Sox picked up interesting kids like Jordan Sprinkle (a shortstop from UC Santa Barbara), Shane Gilbert (a left-handed pitcher out of Arizona’s Chandler-Gilbert Community College), and Drake Logan (a third baseman out of Shelton State Community College in Alabama).
These are just a few of the talented players that the Chicago White Sox were able to take in this year’s draft. These young men could be the face of the franchise sometime soon. It is up to the organization to help get them to that level.
