Joey Gallo, recently released by the Chicago White Sox, plans to pursue a career in pitching after a disappointing tenure as an outfielder. Gallo, who had struggled significantly at the plate with a hit rate below .200 for several years, was initially signed to a minor league deal by the White Sox earlier this year. His announcement to shift to pitching marks a significant pivot in his professional career, as he has a background as a high school pitcher and now seeks a team to develop this new direction.
Gallo's transition from MLB outfielder-first baseman to pitcher signals a significant shift in his career after struggling offensively since 2019, seeking new opportunities.
His major league batting average has plummeted below .200 since 2019, prompting the decision to return to his roots as a pitcher, a role he played in high school.
