2022 South Side Sox Prospect Vote: Round 23
If you’re unsure of what this is, read our Top Prospect Vote primer.
Carlos Pérez, our first catcher in the poll, took the No. 22 spot, leapfrogging Jonathan Stiever to win handily at 39% (29 of 75 votes). With Stiever, Tanner McDougal and Jimmy Lambert all lining up behind Pérez, it seems certain a right-handed starter will win the next round.
Though a veteran of many seasons in the White Sox organization and ranked in our Top 100 in previous years, this was Pérez’s first appearance in our prospect poll. The No. 22-voted prospect in 2020 was Zack Burdi. In 2021, No. 22 was Bryan Ramos.
Bennett Sousa was strong in his ballot debut, tying for fifth with five votes.
