## Resource

Mathias LaCombe, France’s newest baseball sensation, is blazing a trail in the MLB world after being drafted by the White Sox in the 12th round—making him only the second French-born player ever selected. Rising from Bordeaux to Arizona, he’s rocketed through the minors with elite stuff (a 98 mph fastball) and impressive stats, including a stellar ERA and strikeout prowess. Recently promoted to Double-A Birmingham, he’s rebounded strongly in August, now ranked as Chicago’s 18th-best prospect. If he keeps climbing, he could join Ernesto Martinez Jr. as the only other French-trained player to reach Triple-A—and potentially debut in the majors by 2027, turning heads back home and expanding baseball’s footprint across the Atlantic.
