Billy Carlson, selected by the Chicago White Sox with the No. 10 pick in the 2025 MLB Draft, always dreamed of playing in MLB, inspired by watching games from a young age. His high school teammate's success in the draft bolstered his aspiration. Carlson described the selection process as surprising and filled with excitement. He is eager to help the White Sox succeed and appreciates his family's connections in Chicago, particularly through his mother's large Mexican family.
I had a good idea going in, but honestly, it was kind of a wild draft. So I was keeping my eyes peeled for everyone. It was crazy stuff.
I was ecstatic, man. I was so, so happy. Seeing all my hard work pay off and giving it to God and letting him do his thing.
It's crazy now I'm coming to Chicago and how God works. It's cool to have a lot of family in Chicago.
Seeing my high school teammate, Ethan Schiefelbein, become a second-round pick by the Detroit Tigers in 2024 helped pave the way for me.
