Newest White Sox draft picks skip minor league levels and prep for pro debuts
Briefly

The MLB Draft has been postponed to mid-July, preventing newly drafted players from participating in the Arizona or Florida Complex Leagues after signing. Most draftees traditionally go to their team’s Spring Training facilities for workouts in the Bridge League, but stats from these games are not recorded. Fans generally track prospects only after the following season starts. Recently, the Chicago White Sox assigned four of their draft picks to Low-A Kannapolis, including skilled players expected to make an early impact in the minor leagues.
Colby Shelton, drafted 166th overall, is considered the prospect most likely to reach the MLB quickly for the Chicago White Sox, showcasing impressive SEC production.
Anthony DePino had a standout 20-20 season at Rhode Island, being the only player in Division-I college baseball to achieve such numbers in 2025, making significant contact.
