Summary
Chicago’s long wait is over—the White Sox have selected Roch Cholowsky, the elite college shortstop, with the No. 1 pick. Hitting .320 with 21 homers at UCLA and boasting Gold Glove defense, Cholowsky was MLB Pipeline’s top prospect and a finalist for the Golden Spikes. After a tense decision that nearly favored Grady Emerson or Vahn Lackey, the Sox—fresh off a draft lottery win—get their franchise cornerstone. With a stacked farm system, Cholowsky’s advanced game and elite tools could fast-track him to the majors. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
