Summary
The White Sox just drafted Landon Thome, son of Hall of Famer Jim Thome, with the 34th overall pick — a high school shortstop ranked 34th nationally by MLB Pipeline. While Jim Thome was known for his power, Landon sees himself as a pure hitter, boasting a .535 batting average and seven homers last season, earning him Illinois Gatorade Player of the Year. Scouts expect him to play second or third base professionally, praising his aggressive baserunning. With his dad’s legacy and his own standout skills, Landon’s arrival signals a new chapter for the White Sox — and a family legacy reborn.
