The Chicago White Sox concluded a dismal season as one of baseball's worst teams and are now in the early stages of a rebuild. This season, the focus is on integrating young prospects like Sean Burke and Shane Smith into the lineup, with Burke set to start on Opening Day. Veteran Andrew Benintendi is also key to this season’s success, aiming to recover from a poor performance last year. Despite his struggles, Benintendi's All-Star past and recent metrics suggest he could excel this year.
Leading the charge in the youth movement are right-handed pitchers Sean Burke and Shane Smith, who both made the team, and Burke will get the nod to start on Opening Day against the Los Angeles Angels.
Last season, in his second year with the Sox, Benintendi had the worst year offensively outside of the 2020 season, with career lows in average (.229) and on-base percentage (.289).
Benintendi is just three years removed from his first All-Star season, where he accomplished that feat with the Kansas City Royals.
