In 2025, the Chicago White Sox are focusing on incremental improvements after their challenging 2024 season with 121 losses. General Manager Chris Getz and new Manager Will Venable emphasize smarter baseball strategies, particularly in baserunning and infield defense. Key areas of improvement include lead-taking on the bases and first-step quickness, highlighting that physical speed isn't the only measure of success. The team's strong group of young catchers is also a focus, as better pitch framing could enhance performance this season and beyond. The ultimate goal is to translate these improvements into a significant increase in wins, especially after last season's poor record.
Taking our leads, secondary leads, understanding the run value that can provide to a team without necessarily having raw speed.
Understanding what a first step can do in regards to saving runs.
Considering the amount of pitches that are thrown, and receiving being the most important part of the catching game.
If you stack up wins in those areas, wins in a way of just improvement that we feel like it's going to show up in the win and loss record.
