The Chicago White Sox have made an impressive turnaround in their walk rate, jumping from a league-worst 6.7% in 2024 to 9.2% in 2025, now ranking 10th overall in MLB. This transformation is largely attributed to a new lineup under first-year manager Will Venable, with significant personnel changes leading to increased patient approaches at the plate. With key players returning from injury, the team has drawn a record number of walks this season, crucial for generating runs given their lack of power.
Their league-worst 395 walks last season played a significant role in their record 121 losses, illustrating the importance of on-base patience in baseball.
The White Sox have achieved a notable increase in walk rate from 6.7% to 9.2%, climbing from 29th to 10th in the MLB rankings.
