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."
