Starting the Climb: How the White Sox Launch Prospect Development
White Sox Director of Player Development Paul Janish returns to Road to the Rate for a deep dive into the club’s post-draft and post-deadline phase. Janish explains how the Sox align scouting and development, what they look for in new draftees, and how they determine when a prospect is ready for the next level — or even the big leagues.
