Dylan Cease has been called the X-factor for the 2021 Chicago White Sox. This title comes with good reason. The 26-year old right-hander’s performance this season will dictate if the White Sox rotation is just good or championship caliber.
That is a lot of pressure for someone with only 26 major league starts under his belt. Hall of Fame manager Tony La Russa has yet to confirm that Cease will be the fourth starter. That only adds to that pressure. Pressure creates diamonds and on Monday it created a gem.
