It took three hours, but the White Sox finally got to select a player in the 2022 MLB draft, adding LHSP Noah Schultz from suburban Oswego East H.S. with the No. 26 overall pick.
Schultz has committed to Vanderbilt University this fall, but a $2,789,400 first-round slot bonus could be rather enticing. It is extremely unlikely the White Sox would commit so aggressively (Schultz was No. 49 on the MLB.com draft board) to a prep pitcher if they did not have a strong indication he would sign.
Schultz is 6´9´´and had a massive uptick in velocity this spring, to 98 mph.
