Next Wave of White Sox Prospects | MLB News
About this episode
The Chicago White Sox are loaded with rookies this year, but the real story is who’s next. Caleb Bonemer, a 20-year-old shortstop with 36 homers and 17 steals, could be the breakout star ready for an everyday role. Roch Cholowsky, the top pick from UCLA, might need more time to refine his swing after injury setbacks. Joey Volchko, a 21-year-old fireballer with a 100 mph fastball, could rocket through the minors as a dominant reliever. And don’t sleep on Mathias LaCombe — the French phenom has gone 11 straight scoreless innings with a mid-90s heater and sharp slider. All eyes are on these four as the Sox look ahead to 2027.

On September 8th, the Chicago White Sox have seen a ton of new faces in the majors this year, over a dozen players making their debut. It's a lot. Even for a team focused on building with young talent, guys like Sam Antonacci and Munitaka Murakami have already made big impacts. So the question is, who's next up from the farm for next season? Looking ahead to 2027, there are a few prospects poised to make a splash. One name getting a lot of buzz is shortstop Kayla Bonimer. He was a second round pick back in 2024 and has been tearing it up in the minors, showing off serious power with 36 home runs. And 17 stolen bases this season, he's 20 years old and might be ready for an everyday spot on the roster. Then there's Ross Shalowski, the number one overall pick from UCLA. He's considered a top prospect, but after a rough start in the minors and an injury, he might need a bit more time. Shalowski thinks his defense is ready, but his swing needs some work before he's truly MLB ready,
possibly looking at a 2027 or even 20. 28 debut. We also have Joey Volchko, a third round pick out of the University of Georgia. This 21 year old has an elite fastball that can hit 100 miles per hour and a nasty slider. He's expected to move quickly through the minors and could be a powerful relief pitcher. Finally, keep an eye on Matthias Le Combe. He's not as well known, but this 24 year old from France has been lights out recently, not giving up a run in his last 11 games. He's got a mid 90s fastball and a solid slider, and he could also be a quick riser as a reliever. You've been listening to MLB News today, AI-powered baseball coverage.
