One of the most highly touted baseball prospects to come out of Oregon State has finished his first season. Nick Madrigal, who was drafted 4th overall by the White Sox back in 2018, finally made his pro debut in the shortened 2020 season, after spending 2019 rapidly ascending Chicago’s farm system.
Madrigal’s first start, on July 31st against Kansas City, was rough. He went 0-3, though he did reach base once on a fielding error. The next day wasn’t much better, with Madrigal going hitless on his 5 plate appearances. Then, on August 2nd, he finally broke through.
