## Resource

The White Sox drafted Landon Thome, son of Hall of Fame slugger Jim Thome, with the 34th pick in the 2026 MLB Draft—spotting a rare blend of raw power, elite hitting, and blazing speed. A top high school hitter from Nazareth Academy, Landon swings left like his dad and already boasts 49 stolen bases, while also showing defensive growth that could see him thrive at second or third base. Named Illinois Gatorade Player of the Year, he’s not just carrying his father’s legacy—he’s carving his own path with swagger, skill, and serious upside.
