Paul Janish Recaps the Year and What's to Come in 2026
Connor McKnight closes out season one of Road to the Rate with White Sox Director of Player Development Paul Janish to recap the year on the farm and look ahead to 2026. The two dig into why Tanner McDougal earned a spot on the 40-man roster, the next wave of impact bats like Sam Antonacci and Braden Montgomery, and how the organization is managing workloads and roles for arms such as Grant Taylor and those returning from injury. Janish also outlines what new minor league hitting coordinator Sherman Johnson Jr. will bring to the system, why “swing decisions” remain a core organizational focus.
