His real breakout came in 2024 across two levels of the minor leagues. Between Kannapolis and a promotion to High-A Winston-Salem in 2024, Aldrin Batista was 10-5 with a 2.93 ERA in 110.2 innings. His 1.04 ERA in Winston-Salem turned some heads, and put him firmly among the Top 30 prospects in the White Sox organization. 2025 was supposed to be the season for Batista to climb the ladder even further and put his name in the mix for the future White Sox starting rotation.
