2024 South Side Sox Top Prospect No. 87: Caden Connor
Briefly

The lefthander only hit 10 homers over those 3 1⁄2 seasons in college, but he did cut his ground ball rate each year and clubbed 20 doubles in 2023. Also last summer, he finished with well above-average hard-hit rates and a 51st percentile SweetSpot%.
Connor came to college appearing mostly in the outfield, but as he matured, almost all of his starts were at first base. In 2023, it was all his starts. In the ACL, Connor played left field in seven games and over in right for two, appearing at first base only once. Obviously the time is now to see if Connor - not quite fleet of foot - can adjust to a more valuable corner outfield spot; his bat as it has mostly appeared in the collegiate ranks will not play at first base.
