The Chicago White Sox showcase several young prospects at SoxFest Live, with notable mentions like 19-year-old George Wolkow. Despite being among older players, Wolkow stands out after signing for $1 million in the 2023 MLB Draft. His rookie season saw him achieving solid stats, batting .257 with 13 home runs and an .808 OPS. With aspirations to debut by age 21, Wolkow articulates his readiness to work hard and capitalize on his potential in the Chicago farm system, reflecting both ambition and dedication to the game.
Wolkow, a local product from Downers Grove, Ill., scored a $1 million signing bonus after the White Sox picked him in the seventh round of the 2023 MLB Draft.
He said, 'I really like being here today, being the youngest guy here. I wear that chip on my shoulder with pride, I love it.'
At his current pace, there is a chance that Wolkow surges through Chicago's farm system and becomes a big league starter by his age 21 season in 2027.
Wolkow expressed ambition stating, 'That would be pretty cool, and I have a lot of work to do, but I'm going to put the work in and try to make that happen.'
