White Sox Prospect Backed by MLB Rookie of the Year Paul Skenes

Pitching is one of the strengths of the White Sox farm system. But while prospects like Noah Shultz and Hagen Smith have received most of the attention, an under-the-radar name received a ringing endorsement from the reigning National League Rookie of the Year. 

The White Sox No. 8 prospect according to MLB Pipeline, is right-hander Grant Taylor isn’t projected to reach the majors until 2027. However, his former LSU teammate Paul Skenes believes the 22-year-old could be ready even sooner.
