WithWith the 68th pick in the 2024 MLB draft, the White Sox used their Competitive Balance Round B selection on left-handed starting pitcher Blake Larson of IMG Academy (Fla.).
Of course, we don’t know and can’t project ANY of these picks, certainly not preps who aren’t even yet fully grown. But when the immediate reaction on the MLB broadcast, among positive, encouraging words, is that this pick of Larson indicates that the White Sox “are taking a long-term view of the rebuild,” well, it’s hard to get too excited.
