George Wolkow, a 19-year-old minor league player for the Chicago White Sox, made his presence felt in a Cactus League game, marking an important milestone in his young career. Standing at 6-7, Wolkow played as a minor league extra, coming off the bench and hitting a single against a major league pitcher. Drafted in the seventh round two years ago, he showed impressive stats but has a high strikeout rate he aims to reduce. He remains realistic about his chances of playing in the majors this year, appreciating the opportunity to compete.
"It's cool just being on the field, seeing Ichiro across the field... The kid in me loves that. Just never take that for granted."
"It's cool being 19 and playing in a big league game, but there's not a big chance I'm going to play in Chicago this year being realistic."
