Joey Gallo, released by White Sox, says he's converting to pitcher
Briefly

On March 16, the Chicago White Sox released Joey Gallo, who intends to pivot his career towards pitching. Gallo's performance as an outfielder was disappointing, with a .100 batting average and 11 strikeouts in nine games this spring. Formerly a promising player with a .253 average in 2019, he has struggled significantly since, batting below .200 in recent seasons. Gallo, a high school pitcher with no professional experience in that role, is now seeking an opportunity to be developed as a pitcher.
"Joey Gallo's transition to a pitcher comes after he struggled as an outfielder-first baseman, hitting just .100 in spring training with 11 strikeouts in nine games."
"The 31-year-old, once a two-time All-Star, has not batted over .200 since 2019, highlighting his significant drop in performance over recent years."
