Daniel Wright, a pitcher from Iowa, was selected by the Chicago White Sox in the 10th round of the 2025 MLB Draft. He transitioned to Iowa as a graduate student after multiple college experiences, having played previously at Houston, Iowa Western Community College, and Wisconsin. During his season with the Hawkeyes, Wright recorded a 2-2 record and a 3.41 ERA with 20 strikeouts. Wright is now the ninth player from the University of Iowa selected by the White Sox and the 35th under coach Rick Heller's leadership.
During his lone season with the Hawkeyes, Wright finished with a 2-2 record and a 3.41 ERA in 29 innings pitched through 18 appearances, including two starts.
Wright becomes the ninth Hawkeye selected by the Chicago White Sox organization all-time and the 35th overall draft selection under head coach Rick Heller's tenure in Iowa City.
Despite being a starter with Houston in the 2023-24 campaign, Wright was primarily used as a relief pitcher out of the Hawkeyes' bullpen this past spring.
The White Sox utilized the No. 266 overall selection in the draft to select the native of Sergeant Bluff, Iowa.
