Tim Elko, a former Ole Miss standout and significant contributor to their 2022 national championship, continues to impress as part of the Chicago White Sox organization. During spring training, he hit a solo home run against the Chicago Cubs, demonstrating his hitting prowess. Elko, who had a notable college career, hitting .294 with 46 home runs, was drafted by the White Sox in 2022 and spent last season in Double-A and Triple-A, hitting .289 with 18 home runs. His consistent performance could lead him to the majors soon.
In fact, during a spring training at-bat on Saturday, Elko hit a solo home run to the right field bullpen against the Chicago Cubs.
Elko was a huge part of Ole Miss' national championship run in 2022, and he was named a NCBWA Third Team All-American as a result.
During his five-year career with the Rebels, he was a .294 hitter who also swatted 46 home runs and accumulated 159 RBI.
He may earn that honor sooner rather than later. The White Sox will continue with spring training action through March 24.
