The Winston-Salem Dash closed out a championship season on Tuesday night, wrapping up a season of progress for several White Sox prospects. The lower minor league levels are done and the upper levels will be wrapping up soon. For some prospects, the season is not finished. The Arizona Fall League gives teams a chance to send players to get some extra reps during the offseason, and the White Sox will be sending nine players to Arizona this fall. Here are the four that White Sox fans should pay the most attention to.
IF/OF Caleb Bonemer
By now, just about every White Sox fan has heard stories of Caleb Bonemer’s immense talent. The 20-year-old has launched 37 home runs between the High-A and Double-A levels and looks like one of the premiere slugging prospects in all of baseball. An infielder by trade, the White Sox have recently had Bonemer taking reps in the outfield as they look to find a future defensive home for him. He’s listed as an outfielder on the Arizona Fall League roster, so it’s likely that the majority of his playing time will be in the outfield, and that’s probably the primary reason for his inclusion. He’ll be one of the highest-profile prospects playing this fall, and White Sox fans can likely look forward to his big league debut as soon as 2027.

RHP Pierce George
Not too many White Sox fans are likely to be familiar with righty Pierce George, but the former 13th-round pick has put himself on the big league radar with his impressive stuff in 2026. George struggled mightily in Kannapolis in 2025, but has put together a much stronger 3.68 ERA between three levels this season. He’s a full-time reliever with a fastball that touches triple digits, as well as a curveball and cutter that grade at least average. The key for George is throwing strikes, but the White Sox have fast-tracked him through the system this season, promoting him to Triple-A Charlotte for the season’s final couple weeks. He’ll get more reps in the Arizona Fall League. George will undoubtedly be invited to big league camp and should factor into the White Sox bullpen mix as early as mid 2027.
1B Anthony DePino
The White Sox drafted Anthony DePino in the 7th round in 2025 out of Rhode Island, and immediately recognized the potential in his bat. While he didn’t do much in his 29 games at Kannapolis to close the season, the team assigned him to Winston-Salem to start 2026, and a strong early performance earned him a promotion to Double-A Birmingham. Overall, DePino hit .262 with 25 home runs and an .844 OPS between the two levels, and his 128 strikeouts and 64 walks in 125 games were reasonable. DePino has some of the best exit velocities in the White Sox system, and the White Sox believe he’ll be a big league caliber hitter. His defensive limitations hurt his overall upside, and he’s been mostly limited to first base as a pro. He’ll now get some extra reps in Arizona, where the White Sox hope he can continue hitting his way to the big leagues.
IF Colby Shelton
The White Sox took Shelton one round before the aforementioned DePino in the 2025 draft and as a fellow 23-year-old, he’s on a similar track. Shelton began the year in Winston-Salem, where he posted an unreal 1.125 OPS in 31 games before a promotion. His Double-A stint got off to a brutal start, but Shelton rebounded and ended up with respectable numbers by the end of the season. Overall, he posted an .826 OPS with 24 homers between the two levels with a similar K/BB ratio as DePino. Unlike DePino, Shelton’s defensive home seems to be in the middle infield, and he’s taken most of his reps at second base this season. He’ll now head to Arizona where he’ll continue to work on hitting upper level pitching in hopes of reaching the big leagues by the end of 2027.
